At WWDC 2026 Apple announced Apple Intelligence will rebuild Siri to run on Google’s Gemini foundation models. The updated Siri gains expanded device context, including screen and camera recognition, to answer complex, multi-step queries and follow context across apps. Apple says the capability ships with IOS 27 "Golden Gate" on iPhone 11 and later and on macOS, with an English-first rollout and no initial release in China. The deal matters because Apple is adopting Google’s models while emphasizing privacy protections, reshaping expectations for assistant capabilities and vendor partnerships.
