Apple has unveiled Siri AI, a new version of its assistant powered by Apple Intelligence. It’s designed to be more conversational, context‑aware, and integrated across devices.
Siri AI can understand personal context from messages, emails, and photos. It also has onscreen awareness, able to answer questions about what’s on display. The assistant supports natural back‑and‑forth conversations, follow‑up questions, and provides updated web answers.
The new Siri works across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, CarPlay, AirPods, and Apple Vision Pro. On the Vision Pro, it uses spatial computing to visualize information in immersive ways.
Apple built Siri AI on a new architecture that combines on‑device models with Private Cloud Compute. This setup ensures privacy and security, with independent experts able to verify Apple’s protections.
Features include expressive voices, better dictation, and a dedicated Siri app to revisit synced conversations. Siri AI also adds Visual Intelligence for image understanding and multimodal queries, plus Writing Tools for drafting, editing, and adapting communication style.
Developer testing starts now, with a public beta later this year. Siri AI will be available on iPhone 16 and newer, iPad and Mac with M1 or later, Apple Watch Series 10 and newer, and Vision Pro.
