Gurman reports that the new Siri is designed to deliver on capabilities Apple first outlined in June 2024, including completing tasks by accessing a user\u2019s personal data and interpreting on-screen content.<\/p>\n<p>Gurman also said Apple is preparing an even larger Siri upgrade that could be announced in June at its Worldwide Developers Conference. That version is expected to make Siri more conversational, similar to chatbots such as ChatGPT, and could run directly on Google\u2019s cloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The reported Siri updates follow earlier indications that Apple has faced challenges in executing its AI strategy. Gurman said Apple\u2019s Mike Rockwell previously told team members that one of Gurman\u2019s earlier reports was \u201cbulls\u2013t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the Google partnership, along with the recent departure of Apple\u2019s AI chief John Giannandrea, suggests Apple has now moved toward a new approach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Apple #Reportedly #Set #Unveil #GeminiPowered #Siri #Update #February<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple is expected to unveil its first major Siri update powered by Google\u2019s Gemini AI models in the second half&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48391,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,11],"tags":[812,797,8564,1058,234,9595,1763,1010],"class_list":["post-48390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi","category-world","tag-apple","tag-february","tag-geminipowered","tag-reportedly","tag-set","tag-siri","tag-unveil","tag-update"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48390"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48392,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48390\/revisions\/48392"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
