Apple plans to completely redesign its virtual assistant to make it more human and offer better control over third-party applications
Apple plans to introduce big changes to its virtual assistant over the next few years. New information from Bloomberg indicates that Siri will be completely renewed with the arrival of iOS 19. Siri will be based on more advanced language models (LLM) and will be an assistant more human and with more complete interaction in third-party applications.
But developing the new Siri won't be easy for Apple. Last year, a leak emerged from Apple's internal team which claimed that Siri's architecture was not well structured and that to introduce major changes to the assistant it would be necessary to start its development again from scratch.
In fact, the Californian company spends millions of dollars a day to integrate artificial intelligence into Siri. Apple once cruelly abandoned Siri, and now they're paying the consequences. But that will change with iOS 19 and a much more human Siri.
This will be the new Siri in iOS 19
Mark Gurman assures that Siri is about to completely change. The new project, called internally “LLM Series”aims to develop a virtual assistant capable of performing and managing tasks in a manner more similar to ChatGPT or Google Gemini.
Apple plans to present its renewed Siri virtual assistant with iOS 19 and macOS 16. However, its official launch would not take place until spring 2026more or less as is currently happening with Apple Intelligence.
Currently the iOS 19 virtual assistant It is being tested as a separate applicationbut when he lands in 2026, he will replace the current assistant.
The new Siri in iOS 19 will be based on Apple's AI models to improve its interaction and make it appear more human. It will handle tasks similarly to ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Additionally, it will increase your usage of Application Intentsa technology that allows more precise control of third-party applications.
In other words, Siri will be able to perform many more actions in App Store apps, such as completing a task in a to-do list, deleting an email, or liking a social network. The possibilities are limitless.
Finally, the development of the new Siri architecture would provide software capable of Interact with Apple Intelligence features how to write or summarize texts.
With the arrival of iOS 18.1, Apple's virtual assistant has had a makeover with a redesign of your user interface which now displays colorful animations surrounding the edge of the iPhone and iPad screen.
