Recently, there have been reports that Apple is making significant upgrades to its voice assistant, Siri, which is expected to be officially launched this spring. This update will adopt Google's Gemini technology, aiming to make Siri smarter and more personalized. According to the latest reports, users will be able to enjoy a series of new features, including emotional support, travel itinerary bookings, and storytelling, creating great expectations for the future of Siri.
Specifically, the updated Siri will be able to answer various practical questions and general knowledge in a more natural conversational format. For example, if you want to know your mother's flight status or find a suitable lunch reservation, Siri will provide accurate answers by accessing relevant data within email and messaging apps. In addition, Siri will be able to tell stories and offer emotional support, bringing more warmth and companionship into users' daily lives.
More interestingly, the new version of Siri will also help users complete more tasks, such as creating documents with specific information in the Notes app, like cooking recipes. This means that Siri is not just a simple assistant but will become a reliable helper in users' lives. Apple plans to reveal more new features of Siri at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, including remembering past conversations with users and proactively offering suggestions based on users' calendars and other information.
The recent upgrade by Apple aims to enable Siri to better understand users' personal contexts, have screen awareness capabilities, and support deeper application operation permissions. In the future, Siri will not only be a voice assistant but also an intelligent companion in users' lives.
Although Apple is still testing the new version of Siri and has not indicated any information related to Google or Gemini on the product, it is certain that Apple will fine-tune the Gemini model to ensure that Siri's response style aligns with its consistent user experience standards. We look forward to a refreshing experience from Siri in the iOS 26.4 system update.
