Apple is apparently developing an enhanced version of Siri to compete with ChatGPT

According to a new report published by Bloomberg, Apple is apparently planning to use its digital assistant, ie Satiety (Siri) more similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini Live. This version of Apple’s assistant is apparently “LLM SiriIt supports Apple’s artificial intelligence models and users can interact with it with a natural voice.

Bloomberg reporter Mark German reports that Apple will improve Siri’s ability to perform more advanced tasks as part of its plans to boost its iPhones’ artificial intelligence.

Garman says the advanced version of Siri will be more capable of interacting with third-party apps and will get help from Apple Intelligence for tasks like summarizing and writing text.

Time to release an advanced version of Siri by Apple

The report goes on to say that although Apple is likely to introduce its own apps next year, the tech giant plans to replace the underlying Siri software with a new system in the spring of 2026.

Craig Federici, Apple’s senior vice president of software, talked about this in an interview with the Wall Street Journal last month:

“The features of something like OpenAI’s advanced voice mode and Siri are completely different. OpenAI mode is great if you want to ask questions about quantum mechanics and have an AI write a poem about it for you… it’s not going to open your garage and it’s not going to help you text.

“There are so many useful things that Siri can do for you every day, and they do them quickly and on your device.”

So far, Apple has been relatively slow to roll out AI features to iPhones, and last month it integrated ChatGPT AI with Siri as part of the iOS 18.2 beta.
