Apple’s Two-Phase AI Rollout – New Siri Soon, Chatbot Later »

Mark Gurman reports that we'll see the "new Siri" announced at WWDC24 before we get a chatbot version at WWDC26 and in the fall – plus Jason Snell on Google TPUs.

From Mark Gurman, quoted by Jason Snell on Six Colors:

The previously promised, non-chatbot update to Siri — retaining the current interface — is planned for iOS 26.4, due in the coming months. The idea behind that upgrade is to add features unveiled in 2024, including the ability to analyze on-screen content and tap into personal data. It also will be better at searching the web.

And:

The chatbot capabilities will come later in the year, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans are private. The company aims to unveil that technology in June at its Worldwide Developers Conference and release it in September.


Jason speculates on the policy shift from Apple that would need to occur for these to run on Google’s servers too.
