Apple's Siri is getting a major AI upgrade in 2026
Apple plans to roll out a big Siri upgrade in March 2026, powered by a custom Google Gemini AI model running on Apple's private cloud.
Expect smarter features like on-screen awareness, personal context, and cross-app commands—basically making Siri feel a lot more helpful and tuned-in.
Siri will get AI web search in Safari and Spotlight
Siri's getting an AI-powered web search in Safari and Spotlight, so you'll see better summaries and richer media when you look things up.
Thanks to the Gemini model (which Apple is paying Google to build), conversations with Siri should feel more natural and persistent—all while sticking to Apple's privacy-first approach.
The upgraded Siri will debut alongside new smart home gear
The upgraded Siri will debut alongside new smart home gear: think a wall-mounted display, refreshed Apple TV, and HomePod mini. These devices are designed to show off what the new Siri can do.
While competitors like Google Assistant or ChatGPT focus on flashy on-device AI tricks, Apple is betting that deep ecosystem integration and privacy will win users over—even if there might be some bumps along the way.
