The latest rumors say that Apple is developing a Siri based on a large language model (LLM) to make its virtual assistant more than a conversation. This feature is expected to debut on iOS 19 in early 2026, according to a report from Bloomberg.

This move shows Apple's changing direction in artificial intelligence (AI). Previously, the company often ruled out chatbot ideas such as ChatGPT. However, AppleInsider reports that Apple's internal trials of AI tools show that Siri will be increasingly integrated with Apple's advanced AI features.

This new Siri is designed to support more complex two-way conversations, complementing the upgraded experience of typing to Siri. With an NGO-based system, Siri will be able to understand a better context and provide a more interactive response.

Apple's AI Development And New Siri Challenges

Since the debut of the AI feature on iOS 18.1, Siri has experienced only a few significant changes. Siri currently serves more as a liaison to tools such as Google search or ChatGPT than being a fully self-contained tool. The basic structure for controlling smart home devices, setting reminders, or making calls is still valid.

However, with the LLM approach, Siri will be able to provide a higher level of contextual awareness, take advantage of user data and application features on devices. For example, Siri can provide recommendations based on the latest personal schedule or location, such as helping to pick up family members from the airport.

However, the transition to LLM technology also poses challenges, such as AI's "halusination" risk, where the system provides misor irrelevant information. Apple seeks to reduce this risk with a stricter AI approach, although it does not completely eliminate it.

Debut in WWDC 2025

iOS 19 is likely to be introduced at the WWDC 2025 event in June. However, this LLM-based Siri is expected to only be available to users in early 2026, if these rumors are true.

This move is expected to make Siri the new face of Apple Intelligence, an AI model integrated throughout Apple's ecosystem to provide a more intuitive and intelligent experience
