Making Siri personal
This beta update also shows you that Apple is gradually bending to the needs of its users and still complying with its own rules around privacy. The new Siri AI is based on Google’s foundational models but Apple has the control over how the data is processed on its private cloud computing system.

The option to customise Siri will be heard across apps like Maps and even Safari if you plan to integrate the assistant into your regular workflow.
Similarly, you will see most of the on-device data reading done on Apple products with 12GB RAM which means some of the newer models like the iPhone 17 and even the 16 Pro series miss out on this big feature. However, the company is looking to fix the gap by launching the iPhone 18 and 18e models with 9GB RAM to offset the exact limitations of the current models.
Not your lover
The new Siri is going to be an AI chatbot/assistant like Gemini and ChatGPT but will not harbour hopes of connecting with you in any emotional capacity.
Craig Federighi, chief of software at Apple was quoted in an interview, where he highlighted the purpose and use case of the new Siri AI version. “If you try to engage Siri as a romantic partner, Siri’s not up for that. Siri’s 100 percent not into that,” he said in the video attributed to Mostly Human.
Apple is also taking a different path with Siri AI, and exactly eyeing more engagement time from the users. “If you use many of the existing chatbots, they’re really focused on engagement to a large degree. And sycophancy, right? They kind of want to pull you in,” making a fair point about how the other AI companies have gone about with this subject.
We are getting close to the big iPhone 18 launch event and Siri AI will be a big part of how the company builds its AI future.
