Apple revamps Siri with Google's Gemini, skips EU
apple releases new siri built on google's gemini models, but not in eu or china, with improved features and some limitations.
apple has released a beta version of its revamped siri, built on google's gemini models, which processes data partly on the device and partly through a cloud. the assistant can read screen content and personal context from messages or photos, and carry out tasks across different apps. it is available in english as part of the 2027 software releases of ios 27, ipados 27, macos 27, watchos 27, and visionos 27, with support for more languages to follow. early tests praise practical improvements but fault ongoing misunderstandings, and the service won't launch in the eu and china for now.
