Apple is about to show off its latest software tricks to the world on June 9 at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. But don't count on hearing much about an improved Siri -- the delayed Apple Intelligence updates seem to need more time.

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Apple finally entered the AI race at last year's Worldwide Developer Conference when it revealed Apple Intelligence. However, some of the biggest updates announced at WWDC 2024 -- such as a new and improved Siri and an AI that's aware of your personal context from your daily phone use -- have yet to deploy, leaving users frustrated. Still, I think there is hope. Apple has done a lot well with the limited features it has shipped -- and offered a promising glimpse of what's t

According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple is testing its own chatbot internally and has made significant progress in catching up with ChatGPT in the last six months.

In Brief Former Siri head John Giannandrea pushed Apple to choose Google’s Gemini chatbot over ChatGPT for the first chatbot integration with Siri last year, according to a Bloomberg report looking at Apple’s uneven AI efforts. Giannandrea, an ex-Google executive who was demoted in a leadership reshuffle in March, thought that OpenAI’s bot wouldn’t have staying power and wasn’t protective of sensitive personal data. Despite these concerns, Apple announced ChatGPT’s integration at WWDC in 2025
