Apple’s delayed Siri rebuild is moving into developer testing on June 8, 2026. The new Siri AI combines screen awareness, personal context, web answers, and app actions across Apple’s operating systems.

Apple is planning an "Extensions" feature for iOS 27 that lets users choose a preferred third-party AI — including Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude — to power Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground, marking the company's most open AI ecosystem move yet.

Apple released the first iOS 26.4 developer beta on February 17 without the expected Google Gemini-powered Siri improvements, citing response latency and query processing issues during internal testing.
