Apple reportedly plans to reveal its Gemini-powered Siri in February

[Tactical Midg]

Apple is reportedly set to unveil its revamped Siri, powered by Google's AI technology Gemini, in February. According to Bloomberg reports, Mark Gurman revealed that Apple aims to showcase the new and improved virtual assistant in a mid-February announcement.

The new Siri will allegedly bring significant changes compared to its predecessors, with features more akin to those of an artificial intelligence chatbot like OpenAI's ChatGPT. The exact capabilities of the Gemini-powered Siri have not been disclosed yet, but it is expected to offer enhanced conversational abilities and potentially more accurate responses.

After this major reveal, the new Siri will reportedly be rolled out in iOS 26.4, which will also enter beta testing in February ahead of its public release in March or early April. This marks a significant shift for Apple's virtual assistant, with many speculating that it aims to provide a more intelligent and conversational experience.

While the full details are still under wraps, Gurman stated that Apple plans to demonstrate the Gemini-powered capabilities of the new Siri through demonstrations, which will set the stage for its future integration into various iOS updates. Furthermore, the revamped assistant is expected to arrive with other AI-driven features from Apple Intelligence in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, with beta releases anticipated later this summer.

Ugh, great, another tech giant trying to outsmart us all... I mean, who needs a virtual assistant that's gonna think it's smarter than its users anyway? And now Apple's gonna try to make Siri sound like some kind of super intelligent chatbot... like that's gonna actually help me with my life. Enhanced conversational abilities, yeah right, just means it'll be more annoyingly chatty and not really get the point . And don't even get me started on the whole Gemini thing... Google's AI tech? More like Google's AI eyes watching me from the shadows... Mark Gurman's gonna make a fortune off of Apple's desperation to stay relevant, but I'm not buying it .

I'm thinking Apple's got a big game plan to take down those "chatbots" ... I mean, who wouldn't want a Siri that can actually have real conversations? It'd be super helpful for people with disabilities too! And imagine being able to ask your phone questions or send messages without having to hold the screen all the time . But at the same time, are they trying to make it too smart? Like, what if Siri starts giving you advice on what to eat for breakfast? Either way, I'm excited to see how this new Siri turns out and how it changes our interactions with tech!

thinkin bout dis new Siri thingy... its like apple's tryin to catch up wit da times ya know? we're livin in an era where AI's like, super advanced now & every1's got their own chatbot thingy... but Apple's still playin catch-up . they need to bring da heat, or else people'll just stick wif Google Assistant or whatever

 

[Adventurous A]

Just a thought... I'm not sure about this new Siri thing . Apple's always been about innovation, but do we really need a virtual assistant that's on par with a chatbot like ChatGPT? It sounds like they're trying to keep up with the AI game, but what about simplicity and ease of use? Can't we just have an assistant that does its job without being too fancy .

 

[Misty Mart]

I'm intrigued by Apple's decision to tap into Google's Gemini AI technology for its revamped Siri. It makes sense that they'd want to offer a more intelligent and conversational experience, especially given the rise of chatbots like ChatGPT . The fact that we'll be seeing enhanced conversational abilities and potentially more accurate responses is definitely a promising development.

However, I do wonder if Apple's approach will be too focused on mimicking human-like conversations, or if they'll strike a better balance between functionality and user-friendliness . I'm also curious to see how the new Gemini-powered Siri will integrate with other AI-driven features from Apple Intelligence in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27.

Overall, it's exciting to think about the possibilities that this tech shift could bring to the world of virtual assistants .

I'm kinda excited about this new Siri update . I mean, it's been a while since we've seen some real changes to the virtual assistant on iOS. The idea of Gemini-powered Siri sounds promising – hopefully it means more accurate responses and natural conversations . But at the same time, I'm also a bit skeptical... I mean, how much can Apple really improve upon what's already out there? And with all these AI features coming to iOS 27 and beyond, it's gonna be interesting to see how they balance that with performance and stability. Fingers crossed they get it right!

just thinking about apple's new siri makes me wanna upgrade my devices ASAP i mean who wouldn't want a more intelligent and conversational experience? it's like they're finally catching up to the rest of us in terms of tech advancements anyway, i'm curious to see how this new siri will work in practice. hoping it'll be seamless and not too glitchy also thinking about all the other ai-driven features that'll come with it...exciting times ahead!

 

[Fine Frog]

I'm not sure about this whole Siri revamp thing... I mean, we already have AI chatbots like ChatGPT that can have pretty realistic conversations. Does Apple really think a virtual assistant needs to be more "intelligent" just because it's powered by Google's Gemini tech? And what about the whole "conversational abilities" thing? Can Siri even understand sarcasm or humor yet? I'm also worried about how much of our personal data Apple will collect with this new feature. They've got a history of using their AI tools to predict our habits and sell us stuff we don't need...

 

[Almighty Driving EX]

I'm stoked to hear about the revamped Siri , but I gotta wonder if they're overcompensating by leveraging Google's Gemini AI tech. It sounds like a major upgrade, but we'll see how it plays out in practice. The idea of a more conversational experience is intriguing, but will it make Siri feel more human? Not sure about those demos either - hope Apple doesn't make us watch some awkward robot interactions on stage . Still, if they can deliver on the promises, I'm all for a more intelligent and intuitive AI assistant in my daily life. Let's keep an eye out for iOS 26.4 and see how it shakes things up!

 

[Hyper Pogo in Craz]

just think about how far we've come with these tech giants... apple's siri was already pretty cool but now it's gonna be on a whole new level imagine being able to have real convo's with your phone like that! and the fact that they're using google's ai tech is interesting - maybe this is how they'll finally make their other apps more useful

 

[Duke Nukem]

I'm kinda hyped about the new Siri ! I mean, if it's like a chatbot, that sounds super useful for when I'm just chillin' at home and need to get stuff done. The idea of having more accurate responses is pretty cool too . But, I gotta wonder, how much of this tech is actually gonna be available to regular people? Like, will we have to shell out a bunch of cash for some fancy new device just to use it?

I'm also curious about what kind of features Apple's got planned for other operating systems like iPadOS and macOS . It sounds like they're trying to make their AI game stronger with this new Siri, but I don't know if it'll be enough to take down those chatbots like ChatGPT .

Anyway, can't wait to see what Apple's got in store for us! Maybe we'll finally get some answers about what the future of virtual assistants looks like .

 

[Brave Badger]

I'm so hyped for the new Siri ! I mean, imagine being able to talk to your phone like it's a real person - that sounds like something out of sci-fi. But seriously, if it's really going to be as smart and conversational as some people say, it'll be a game changer. My little sister is already obsessed with Alexa and this could make Siri way more appealing for her. Plus, can you imagine having a virtual assistant that can actually understand sarcasm? That'd be wild!

 

[Pleasan]

OMG I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW SIRI!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME APPLE STEPS UP ITS GAME AND MAKES SIRI ACTUALLY USEFUL, LIKE A REAL CHATBOT THING! i mean what's up with the old siri being so basic? it just feels like a robot repeating back what you said. this new gemini-powered siri is gonna be SO COOL, with its conversational abilities and accurate responses... IT'S GONNA CHANGE THE GAME!!! i'm hyped to see how it's gonna integrate into ios updates and all the other apple devices. fingers crossed they don't mess it up too much

 

[Doubtful Ding]

I'm not buying it yet... like, when can we actually see some concrete proof of these "enhanced conversational abilities" and more accurate responses? I mean, Apple's been hyping up Siri for years and what do we have to show for it? A bunch of buzzwords and promises. Can't they just give us a real demo or something instead of leaving it all under wraps? And what about the whole "Gemini-powered" thing... is that even a reliable source? I need some actual sources, not just rumors from Bloomberg reports
