The smarter Siri feature using personal data that was shown at WWDC 2024 will finally become a reality this February. This is according to a recent report by Mark Gurman in Bloomberg yesterday. The new Siri powered by Google Gemini's base model will finally be able to find the information needed based on the user's personal data.
The introduction of this feature next month was expected because Google announced the Personal Intelligence feature in Gemini that can integrate personal data across Gmail, YouTube, Search and Photos just two weeks ago. In Siri, this feature was advertised on the iPhone 16 series but was delayed because it did not meet the standards set by Apple and the ad was removed on YouTube.
In addition to Siri finally being smarter, Apple is also predicted to announce Siri that functions like the Gemini and ChatGPT chatbots at WWDC next June. Upgrades to the conversational capabilities are expected to be made so that talking to Siri will feel more natural from now on.
