'After years of waiting, iPhone users deserve nothing less': 5 things Gemini-powered Siri needs to do to save Apple from AI irrelevance

For years now, Siri has felt like the weak link in Apple’s otherwise slick ecosystem. While ChatGPT, Gemini, and even Alexa have surged ahead, Apple’s voice assistant has mostly stood still, promising big things but never actually fulfilling them.

That’s finally starting to change, however, as Apple and Google have entered into a long-term partnership where Siri will be powered by Gemini.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple could reveal its long-awaited Gemini-powered Siri upgrade as soon as February 2026 (next month), and that could mean huge things for the iPhone in a year where the Cupertino-based company looks to revolutionize its smartphone lineup with more powerful products and maybe even a foldable screen.
