Apple’s new Siri may allow users to operate apps just using voice

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-12-02 10:23:38

In Brief Apple in 2024 showed a swanky demo of what it said would be a new, intelligent Siri that would connect with different apps to fetch all kinds of information. But this new Siri has yet to see the light of day, as the company seemingly hasn’t been able to get it ready. However, Bloomberg now reports that Apple is testing a version of Siri that will be able to take actions on your behalf across various apps by following voice commands. The company plans to release a new version of App In

Apple working with these apps to prepare for next-gen Siri

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-02 06:24:04

Siri got lots of airtime at last year's WWDC – but not this year When Apple finishes developing the next generation of Siri, third-party apps will want to integrate with the new system. The App Intents system, which will connect apps with Siri and Apple Intelligence, adds to the amount of work developers are already doing to adopt Apple’s new design in iOS 26 and more. All app developers will likely have a brief window to prepare their apps for the new Siri before it launches to the public th

An updated Siri that interacts with apps reportedly won't be here until next spring

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-02 02:30:00

A Siri that does way more than just setting a timer or writing down a reminder may still be nearly a year away. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple plans to release an overhauled version of Siri in the spring, which will be enhanced by the new App Intents feature. Gurman reported that the upgraded Siri will handle more complex tasks within apps, like commenting on an Instagram post, adding an item to your cart in a shopping app or editing a specific photo and sending it afterwards.

Gurman: All-new App Intents feature and Siri overhaul on track to launch next spring

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-12-02 00:28:59

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is aiming to ship its brand new App Intents feature, allowing Siri to take actions for you, next Spring – alongside its long-promised Siri overhaul. These features were initially on track to launch during the iOS 18 release cycle, though Apple faced engineering delays. Now, they should launch by ~iOS 26.4, according to current reporting. Apple’s Siri delays sure have been disappointing, and Apple likely shouldn’t have announced the features without ha

Amazon’s rocky Alexa+ launch might justify Apple’s slow pace with next-gen Siri

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-01 21:53:51

Amazon has finally started rolling out Alexa+, its oft-delayed overhaul of the Alexa voice assistant built on large language model technology. However, Alexa+ shows how difficult it is to replace a mature voice assistant with generative AI, especially when users expect instant, consistent results for simple tasks. It’s a real reality check on the notion that Amazon has managed to release something Apple promised and hasn’t shipped. Alexa+, available as an limited preview on select Echo devices,

Google mocks Apple's Siri AI delays in new Pixel 10 ad

What just happened? If there's one thing that stays the same in the ever-changing tech world, it's companies mocking Apple in their ads. The latest comes from Google, which goes straight for Cupertino's throat in the new Pixel 10 ad. Google's ad for its upcoming Pixel 10 suggests that if you buy "a new phone because of a feature that's coming soon, but it's been coming soon for a full year," you might want to change your definition of soon or "just change your phone."

In a global all-hands meeting hosted from Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California, CEO Tim Cook seemed to admit to what analysts and Apple enthusiasts around the world had been raising concerns about: that Apple has fallen behind competitors in the AI race. And Cook promised employees that the company will be doing everything to catch up. “Apple must do this. Apple will do this.

Apple exec says Siri will get ‘much bigger upgrade than we envisioned’

Apple’s Siri-related news hasn’t been great so far this year, but the company sounds confident it can turn things around. Here’s the Siri update that software head Craig Federighi reportedly shared in Apple’s all-hands meeting. Last week, Apple reported huge quarterly earnings. But concerns around the company’s AI efforts were still clearly on Wall Street’s minds.

Apple reportedly has a 'stripped-down' AI chatbot to compete with ChatGPT in the works

Apple has fallen far behind in the competitive market of AI-powered chatbots, but it may have a plan for an in-house option that aligns with the company's "not first, but best" philosophy.

Apple's AI Research Has Failed So Spectacularly That It's Considering Just Letting OpenAI Power Siri

For the past few months, Apple has been mired in a tangled legal web of its own making. When the tech giant released the iPhone 16 back in September of 2024, it promised customers a suite of shiny new "Apple Intelligence" features, which would "roll out later this year and in the months following." At the crux of the sales pitch was a commitment to release an AI-powered version of Siri — in other words, a large language model (LLM) upgrade to Siri's ancient algorithm — which the company said co
