Apple's WWDC 2026 to debut long-awaited Gemini-powered Siri upgrade
Mark Gurman says Apple's Siri overhaul finally arrives on June 8th, bringing new AI features.
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference kicks off June 8th at 1PM ET / 10AM PT, with the keynote live on YouTube and Apple's website. This year's event is expected to be one of the biggest in years, headlined by a long-rumored overhaul of Siri. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple will finally launch a Gemini-powered Siri — a partnership with Google — that brings improved reasoning and natural language capabilities. Renders and leaks suggest a dedicated Siri app and a new chat bubble that pops out of the Dynamic Island, making Siri more accessible and interactive.
Beyond Siri, Apple will announce its annual OS updates including iOS 20, macOS 16, and visionOS 3. New features include Google Cast support in iOS (finally), bill-splitting in Wallet and Messages, and performance tweaks for Liquid Glass on macOS. AI will be a major theme: the Camera app gets a 'Siri' mode for visual intelligence, Apple Health gains AI-driven insights, and Image Playground is redesigned. Apple may also let users pick a preferred third-party AI model like ChatGPT, opening the ecosystem. For professionals, these upgrades promise tighter AI integration across Apple's hardware and software, making daily workflows smarter.
