Apple Google Gemini Siri 2026: The Multiyear AI Partnership Ends the Wait
Apple confirms a multiyear partnership with Google to integrate Gemini AI into Siri by 2026, ending speculation about OpenAI or Anthropic deals.
The long-standing will-they-won't-they relationship is over. Apple has finally chosen Google as the primary partner to reinvent its virtual assistant. According to The Verge, a multiyear announcement confirms that Google's Gemini AI models will underpin the next generation of Siri.
What the Apple Google Gemini Siri 2026 Deal Means
Coming sometime in 2026, this more personalized version of Siri focuses on agentic capabilities. It's not just about better answers; it's about a Siri that can act on your behalf using Google's advanced reasoning. After playing the field for one or two years, Apple opted for the familiarity of its long-time search partner.
The OpenAI and Anthropic Pivot
Rumors previously suggested Apple was considering OpenAI or Anthropic for this critical role. While those companies may still play smaller parts in the ecosystem, Google has secured the primary foundation for the iOS AI future. This move solidifies the Apple-Google alliance against other rising AI competitors.
