Apple unveiled a new suite of AI features and an "entirely new version of Siri" at WWDC, two years after its initial plans. The new Siri AI is more conversational, capable, systemwide, and can interact with apps.
Apple is preparing to reintroduce the new AI Siri at WWDC, following its initial "launch" in 2024 with Apple Intelligence. The company's previous promotion of Apple Intelligence was misleading, resulting in a class-action lawsuit and delayed feature delivery.
The next update to Apple's operating systems could allow users to choose their preferred AI model for running Apple Intelligence. This would enable third-party chatbots to power system-wide AI features like Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground.
