Khaberni - The AI-enhanced "Siri" relies on a modified version of "Google's" "Gemini" tool according to a "Bloomberg" report, amid internal company concerns regarding privacy and the usage mechanism of the model.
It is noted that "Apple" has considered collaborating with several AI companies to enhance "Siri" and develop its own AI version, including "ChatGPT" and "Cloud," as well as attempting to develop its own model.
The report indicates that "Apple" intends to use the new model through its own servers rather than "Google's", for an undisclosed sum. This means that "Apple's" "Gemini" will differ from its counterpart at "Google" and will adhere to "Apple's" privacy standards.
This partnership is limited only to "Gemini" without delving into other "Google" services for which "Apple" offers various alternatives.
"Apple" plans to release the enhanced version of "Siri" which fundamentally relies on artificial intelligence in the system version "iOS 26.4", with the current available version being "iOS 26.1". It is expected to be released in March, according to statements by Tim Cook to the company's investors.
"Apple" has faced numerous challenges in terms of AI technologies and its attempts to integrate them fundamentally with its users, issues that have caused the delay in launching features until now and lagging behind its competitors.
It is worth mentioning that "Samsung" blends a version of its own artificial intelligence tool "Gemini" with its tools to provide a comprehensive AI experience for its users.
