Apple is planning a significant overhaul of Siri, integrating Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence to transform the assistant into a conversational chatbot. The update, slated for iOS 27 and possibly accompanied by new hardware, aims to redefine the Apple ecosystem.
A Conversational AI Assistant
Apple’s planned Siri update represents the largest overhaul in the assistant’s history, shifting it from a voice assistant to a conversational AI chatbot. The internal project name for this initiative is ‘Campos’.
Partnership with Google
After lagging in the artificial intelligence race, Apple is responding with a strategic partnership with Google. The core of the new Siri will be a customized model of Google’s Gemini AI. According to reports from January 24, 2026, Apple is leveraging Gemini to enhance Siri’s natural language processing and conversational abilities.
This collaboration allows Apple to quickly integrate advanced AI capabilities without relying solely on its own in-house advancement. The integration of Gemini is expected to considerably improve Siri’s ability to understand and respond to complex user requests.
iOS 27 and Potential New Hardware
The revamped Siri is expected to debut with the release of iOS 27. Apple is also considering new hardware to fully showcase the capabilities of the updated assistant. This could include devices optimized for AI processing and enhanced voice interaction.
