Apple unveils 'Siri AI' and next-gen Apple Intelligence at WWDC
The smarter Siri is real, and it ships this autumn. The brief.
Apple previewed 'Siri AI' at WWDC on 8 June 2026, shipping in iOS/macOS 27 this autumn.
What happened. At its 8 June WWDC keynote, Apple previewed Siri AI: an assistant that understands personal context, reads what's on screen, and takes multi-step actions across apps, plus a wider Apple Intelligence refresh. It ships this autumn in iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27.
The engine. Reporting says Siri AI leans on a custom Google Gemini model, with Apple paying Google around $1 billion a year (attribute, don't assert).
