Apple is preparing a Siri upgrade that could make Gemini users really jealous

• Apple is reportedly preparing a major overhaul for Siri.


• The updated Siri is likely to be able to control a variety of third-party apps, performing very specific actions inside those apps.


• The update is expected to roll out in Spring next year with the iOS 26.4 update.

Back in 2024, Apple promised a significant Siri upgrade that would understand voice commands better, have a more intuitive model running underneath, and be “deeply integrated” into the system. The upgraded version was delayed due to performance issues, and Apple integrated ChatGPT instead, so it doesn’t appear far behind in the AI race, without actually upgrading Siri from the ground up. The newer version of Siri is now expected to launch sometime next year, and to make up for the long delay, Apple may be looking to add exceptional capabilities that will allow Siri to control all of your iPhone with just your voice, zipping ahead of Gemini by a long margin.

Previously, when Apple showcased Siri’s improved capabilities, they were limited to system apps and settings. However, this weekend’s Power On newsletter (paywalled) by Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman talks about an enhanced version that will also be able to control any third-party app. With this new version of Siri, Gurman says, you will be able to perform actions such as editing a photo, commenting on a social media post, or even purchasing particular items from any shopping app, using nothing but your voice.
