Apple Chooses Google's Gemini AI for New Siri

It is now official: The new Siri - which we have been hearing about for some time - but never saw, will be powered by Google's Gemini AI. As reported by CNBC, Apple has chosen Google's AI to be integrated into the new upgraded version of Siri, which is expected to arrive with a future update within the year. This is a multi-year and massive collaboration, which 'will be based on Gemini models and Google Cloud, for future Apple Foundation Models', according to the official statement obtained and shared by CNBC. The statement managed to raise the shares of both companies. As we learn from GSMarena, the new upgraded Siri has been delayed several times. Last March, Apple stated that it needed time to complete its vision. The new version of Siri is expected to be released in 2026.
