At WWDC 2026, Apple unveiled Siri AI - an updated voice assistant powered by Apple Intelligence that learned to understand a user’s personal context, analyze screen content, and search for information in messages, email, photos, and other sources. The assistant also has access to up-to-date data from the internet and is able to interact with applications. A test version in English will be available on users' devices later in 2026.

New features are integrated into the system applications: Passwords automatically updates weak passwords, Safari offers to track changes on pages and create extensions by text query, and Messages and Mail have smart answers based on user style. The Call Context feature at the time of a call loads relevant data (such as the booking code), and in the Calendar and Event and Action Chain Shortcuts you can create simple text descriptions.

Siri AI runs on Apple Foundation Models (AFMs), which process both locally on the device and through the cloud - personal data is not stored or transferred when remote. In parallel, Apple has updated tools for developers: the native Swift API now supports multimodal queries and connectivity to external models like Claude and Gemini. The announcement came amid a $250 million class-action lawsuit: the company had previously been accused of overpricing AI capabilities before the iPhone 16 release.
