Apple is expected to introduce a major upgrade to Siri at its WWDC 2026 event on Monday.
The new version, often referred to as Siri 2.0, is expected to bring advanced artificial intelligence features and improve the overall user experience.The upgraded Siri will be much smarter than the current version. Apple wants to turn Siri from a simple voice assistant into a more powerful AI companion that can help users with a wider range of tasks. The new system has been under development for several months. Some of its features were originally expected to arrive with earlier Apple Intelligence updates but were delayed.
Apple may launch Siri 2.0 as a beta version. This means the company may not consider the product fully complete at release. Apple could first offer access to a limited number of users before making it available to everyone.
There is also speculation that Apple may introduce a waiting list for early access. The company used a similar approach when it first launched Apple Intelligence features. Access was expanded gradually over time. Apple is working with Google on the new Siri experience. The upgraded assistant is expected to use Google's Gemini AI technology in the background. However, users may not see any Gemini branding inside the system.
The improved Siri is expected to offer better app integration and a stronger understanding of user preferences. It may also handle more complex tasks across Apple devices. In addition, the assistant could gain broader access to user data after receiving permission.
These changes are designed to make Siri more competitive with modern AI tools. Apple hopes the upgrade will help Siri compete more effectively with services such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
