Apple's Siri Gets Boost

Looks like Siri is finally getting a brain upgrade... and it might be powered by Google 😮

Apple's working on a new AI search feature called 'World Knowledge Answers' that could use Google’s Gemini model to help Siri summarize info from the web, just like ChatGPT or Perplexity do now.

Here’s why this is interesting:

- Apple and Google just struck a deal to test Gemini AI with Siri

- Feature will deliver summaries from web results using text, images, and videos

- Part of a larger Siri overhaul coming with iOS 26.4 around March

- Apple still developing its own AI tools for user data search

- They’re testing multiple models including Anthropic's Claude for decision-making

Basically, it’s Apple + Google joining forces to catch up in the AI-powered assistant race. Big implications for how we search, automate, and interact using voice.

What do you all think about Apple leaning on Google for AI support? Smart move or risky dependence?
