Apple had planned to upgrade Siri with iOS 18, which was released in 2024, but the plan has now been delayed and is now expected to be released in 2026. This upgrade is expected to be a fundamental restructuring of Siri's architecture.

The project, codenamed 'Glenwood,' is being led by Mike Rockwell, who previously worked on Apple Vision Pro but is now head of Siri, and Craig Federighi, vice president of software engineering.
Glenwood's reconstruction of Siri is planned to use third-party AI models, and OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude were also considered, but it appears they have decided to go with Google's Gemini.
Gurman reports that an anonymous source has finalized an agreement for Apple to access Google's technology.
Spokespeople for Apple and Google have not commented on the matter, but if the information is correct, Apple is expected to pay Google $1 billion per year.
