This is what I expect to hear from WWDC concerning the integration of Siri and Gemini.
Rumor sources are Kensai AI service vendor, Gadget Hacks, CNET, Kavout market analysis, and Chelsea Lin of Vertu (in England). Who knows if any of these people have a pipeline from Apple? Rumor-wise, we take what we can get. Some web links are listed at the bottom.
1. The initial deal with OpenAI is viewed as a "stopgap." The Google deal is that Gemini is the primary AI vendor for Siri.
2. On-Device (Apple Silicon only)
Basic on-screen awareness,
local app actions,
personal context indexing, and
lightweight text processing.
3. On iCloud (Apple Private Cloud Compute)
Emphasis on the "private" part.
Mid-to-high level reasoning and
complex data orchestration.
Custom Gemini models on Apple Private Cloud Compute Servers.
The acronym for "Private Cloud Compute" is PCC, and you may
expect it to be frequently referenced.
All AI conversations will be hidden from Google's standard data harvesting tools.
On PCC, auto-deletion is optional after 30 days.
4. On Google
Open-ended web search,
massive planning, and
complex multi-step cross-app syntheses that exceed Apple's server capacity.
Complex queries are anonymized before routing to Google.
5. In addition to the built-in Siri interface, there will also be a standalone app.
6. Siri will maintain dialogue across dozens of exchanges without forgetting previous prompts.
7. An example command is "Find the photos from last week's conference, crop out the backgrounds, and email them to the team with a quick text summary."
8. Official Preview (WWDC 2026) June 8–12, 2026, in iOS 27. I should have it in developer beta in that time frame.
9. Phase 1: Enhanced Siri - Spring 2026 in iOS beta.
10. Phase 2: Full Conversational AI (iOS 27) September 2026, with the rollout of the new iPhones.
11. The hardware must be recent: iPhones: iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and all iPhone 16 models and newer. Macs and iPads with M1 or later chips.
12. Older devices may get a significantly scaled-back version. Or not.
