Apple and Google Join Forces: Gemini AI to Power Siri

Simran Mishra

Apple and Google form a multi-year partnership to integrate Gemini AI into Siri, confirmed in early 2026.

Gemini AI will power next-gen Apple Intelligence, making Siri smarter, more conversational, and context-aware.

Revamped Siri can handle multi-step tasks, understand on-screen content, and work across apps.

Users can find photos, summarize emails, and complete actions in one command with the new Siri.

First Gemini-powered Siri features arrive via iOS 26.4 beta, expected in February 2026.

Apple chose Gemini after evaluating rivals, marking a strategic shift from pure in-house AI development.

Apple will pay Google about $1 billion annually while keeping user data private and secure.

AI tasks run on-device or via Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, ensuring privacy-first processing.

The deal expands Gemini’s reach to over 2 billion Apple devices and boosts Alphabet’s market value.
