Apple Unveils Major Upgrade for Siri with AI Integration by 2026

Apple (AAPL, Financial) is preparing the next step in the evolution of a revamped and more human-like interaction experience for its Siri assistant by 2026. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the new Siri version will utilize AI through large language models to cause more elaborate and consistent conversations. Unlike the current versions, the new version will be able to work autonomously without relying on other services, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT. Although some features can be released by the year 2025, most of them are expected to be released in the year 2026, associated with the release of iOS 19. In the meantime, Apple has planned to roll out minor changes in Siri in their iOS 18.2 version with the connectivity of their own Apple Intelligence. This will be particularly useful in expanding Siri's ability to control tasks, integrate with other applications, and improve the usability of ChatGPT. People will be able to purchase additional levels that will enable them to use such options as expanded message lengths and better-quality image generation with the help of a ChatGPT Plus subscription. However, the first change will not be as dramatic. Despite this, a bump up to December 2024 will hone Siri's key features.

As an intelligent assistant, Siri still has a long way to go before Apple can make it even brighter. As consumers experience enhancement, big improvements in this area are what consumers should expect in the future, making it a promising area for any technology lover.
