New reports suggest that the improved and AI-powered version of Siri will arrive with the iOS 26.4 update set to be released next spring, after a series of repeated delays. While this news is exciting for Apple users, a new report has revealed an exciting detail about what happens behind the scenes.

According to the report, Apple plans to use Google Gemini models to run the new Siri, without officially announcing it. According to the sources, Apple will pay Google to develop a custom model based on Gemini to run on Apple's private cloud servers, with the aim of powering the new voice assistant.
