Apple Partners with Google for Siri AI
Apple is teaming up with Google to make Siri smarter using Google's Gemini AI.
They promise that your private conversations with Siri will stay safe.
The AI will work on your device or Apple's private cloud, and your data won't be shared with Google.
Apple has done similar things with another AI company called OpenAI before.
This deal is worth about $1 billion a year.
Apple hopes this will help Siri catch up to other AI assistants that have become more advanced.
The new Siri is expected to come out in 2026.
Apple will use Google's Gemini AI to power Siri, adhering to strict privacy standards.
Data will be processed on Apple devices or Private Cloud Compute, not stored or accessible to Google.
Apple's Private Cloud Compute ensures data is only used for the user's request and not retained.
The partnership is expected to be worth around $1 billion annually.
The next-generation Siri is expected to arrive with iOS 26.4 in 2026.
