Such a twist was hardly expected – but it 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 her intelligence will come directly from… Google Gemini. This is a surprising alliance between two technology giants. Apple is set to pay Google an undisclosed amount for the creation of a special, customised AI model based on Gemini, which will power the new version of Siri and the intelligent internet search function.
Privacy on Apple's side, power on Google's side
Although the technology that will work behind the scenes will be Google’s, user data will remain protected. Apple plans to launch the entire system as part of Apple Private Cloud Compute, ensuring that all Siri queries will be processed in Apple's cloud, without access for Google. In this way, the company combines tremendous computing power with its own approach to privacy – which aims to reassure iPhone users that their data will not end up in advertising systems.
Why Gemini?
Apple negotiated for many months 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 decided on Google – and it looks like it was a stroke of genius.
New Siri Not Just in English
The most interesting thing about all this is that Gemini handles multiple languages exceptionally well, including Polish. This is why experts predict that with the launch of the Gemini-based Siri, language support will be expanded to additional countries – Poland, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Japan. This means that after years of waiting, Siri may finally speak Polish – and in a much smarter, more natural way 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 built-in assistants. If these reports are confirmed, the year 2026 could be the time when Siri truly becomes a global assistant – finally comprehensible for users in Poland as well.
