## Definition

Siri AI is Apple's completely rebuilt intelligent assistant, announced at [WWDC26 on June 8, 2026](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/apple-unveils-next-generation-of-apple-intelligence-siri-ai-and-more/). Unlike the legacy Siri, it operates as a full system agent: reading on-screen content, searching personal data across apps, and executing multi-step actions across the OS.

Powered by Apple's third-generation Foundation Models — trained on proprietary data with refinement from Google Gemini frontier outputs — Siri AI ships with a dedicated app for conversation history, Visual Intelligence for camera-based queries, and Private Cloud Compute for sensitive tasks. It requires iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 and newer; EU iPhone and iPad users face an indefinite delay due to a DMA dispute.

## Analogy

Think of it as an OS-level co-pilot rather than a search bar you talk to.

## Why it's emerging now

Apple rebranded and rebuilt its AI assistant at WWDC26 on June 8, 2026, powered by custom Foundation Models refined with Google Gemini. With iOS 27 shipping to 1.5 billion devices this fall, Siri AI is the highest-distribution AI launch of 2026 — even as EU DMA compliance blocks it from iPhone and iPad in Europe indefinitely.
