According to Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter, Apple is planning a major shift for Siri. The company will integrate a Gemini-backed Siri deeply across its core apps, moving away from previous ambitions for a standalone 'World Knowledge Answers' project. This marks a strategic pivot to Google's technology.

This change follows the departure of SVP John Giannandrea and a scaling back of other AI initiatives. A fully revamped Safari browser for the AI era and new Health features have been paused. Apple now aims for a cohesive experience, replacing separate chatbots with a unified, app-integrated assistant.

The new Siri could be announced as soon as next month, offering a glimpse of how App Intents might enable deeper integration. 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Apple Intelligence, finally delivering on the overhauled Siri first teased at WWDC24.
