Apple's Rebuilt Siri Runs on Google Gemini, but Skips the EU at Launch
Key Takeaways
- Apple released a fully rebuilt Siri, branded "Siri AI," as a beta after years of delays that reportedly cost some employees their jobs.
- The assistant is built on Google's Gemini models and processes data partly on-device and partly through Apple's Private Cloud Compute.
- Siri can read screen content and personal context from messages, emails and photos, and perform cross-app actions such as drafting emails or moving recipe ingredients into Reminders.
- The beta is English-only, with French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish support planned for next month, tied to the 2027 iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27 and visionOS 27 releases.
