Apple is developing a new version of its voice assistant, Siri, powered by advanced large language models (LLMs), according to sources cited by Bloomberg. This more conversational Siri is part of Apple’s attempt to catch up in AI, where competitors have released impressive features, like Google’s Gemini Live, that are far more natural to talk to than Siri.

The new assistant reportedly will fully replace the Siri interface that users rely on today, and Apple is planning to release the feature in the spring of 2026. The feature seems like it will be similar to OpenAI’s Advanced Voice Mode but with all the same access to personal information and apps that Siri has today.

Until then, Apple is relying on third parties to power the iPhone’s advanced AI features. OpenAI’s ChatGPT will become available inside Apple Intelligence in December, and Apple has reportedly discussed similar deals with other AI providers, such as Google and Anthropic.
