According to Bloomberg, Apple is developing a new version of its voice assistant, Siri, using advanced large language models (LLMs).
This upgraded version aims to offer more natural conversation, as Apple seeks to regain lost ground in the field of artificial intelligence, where competitors such as Google have introduced impressive capabilities, such as Gemini Live, which is distinguished by its natural interactions and exceeds the capabilities of Siri.

The new Siri is expected to completely replace the current interface that users are familiar with. Apple plans to release this feature in the spring of 2026 and is expected to resemble OpenAI's Advanced Voice Mode, while still having access to personal information and built-in apps.
Apple is also working with third parties to boost the iPhone's AI capabilities. OpenAI's ChatGPT is expected to be integrated into Apple Intelligence by December, and partnerships with other AI providers, such as Google and Anthropic, are being considered.
These developments underscore Apple's intention to reinvent Siri and improve the user experience, making it more competitive in the field of artificial intelligence and voice interaction.
