Such a twist was little expected – but this could be great news not only for the USA but also for users from many countries, including Poland.
According to the latest information, a refreshed, much smarter Siri will debut around March 2026, and its intelligence will come straight from… Google Gemini. This is a surprising alliance between two tech giants. Apple is set to pay Google an undisclosed amount for the creation of a special, custom AI model based on Gemini, which will power the new version of Siri as well as the intelligent internet search feature.
Privacy on Apple's side, power on Google's side
Although the technology behind the scenes will be powered by Google, user data will remain protected. Apple plans to launch the entire system within Apple Private Cloud Compute, ensuring that all Siri queries are processed in Apple's cloud, with no access for Google. In this way, the company combines enormous computational power with its own approach to privacy – which is intended to reassure iPhone users that their data will not end up in advertising systems.
Why Gemini?
Apple spent many months negotiating with various companies – including OpenAI (the creators of ChatGPT) and Anthropic (the creators of Claude). Initially, Claude had the best chances, but talks with Anthropic ended in failure due to excessive costs. As a result, Apple opted for Google – and it seems that it was a bullseye.
New Siri Not Just in English
The most interesting thing about all this is that Gemini handles multiple languages perfectly, including Polish. That's precisely why experts predict that with the launch of the Siri based on Gemini, language support will be expanded to additional countries – Poland, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Japan. This means that after years of waiting, Siri might finally be able to speak Polish – and in a much smarter, more natural form than ever before.
The new version of Siri will debut alongside iOS 26.4, and following it, new devices are expected to appear, such as smart home displays with a built-in assistant. If these reports are confirmed, 2026 could be the year when Siri truly becomes a global assistant – finally understandable for users in Poland as well.
