Apple just wrapped WWDC 2026 and Siri finally got the upgrade we've been waiting years for. In this full recap I break down everything Apple announced: the new Siri AI rebrand (now built on Apple foundation models powered by Google Gemini), real back-and-forth conversations, personal context, onscreen awareness, app actions, and the standout demos. Plus everything new in iOS 27, Apple Intelligence across the system, Liquid Glass, major performance gains, and the expanded parental controls and child safety features. I'll be going hands-on with the new Siri as soon as the waitlist opens, so subscribe so you don't miss it and drop a comment: do you think Apple finally pulled it off? 🌐 Connect with Dan: 𝕏: https://twitter.com/danbarbera Instagram: https://instagram.com/danbarbera1 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@macrumors Dan's YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/danbarbera1 🎙️ Follow The MacRumors Show Podcast: https://youtube.com/@themacrumorsshow ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 The most popular Apple News & Rumors site on the Internet.

you know what would have been better than setting a reminder for that concert. Buying the tickets when they launch...
They sold iPhone 16 on AI promise and now giving as part of iPhone 18
I guess it won’t work in Europe?
The best part of the presentation is the very end when Erik The Architect rapped about apps and named probably over 50 of them in his lyrics. It is after Tim Cook's farewell speech.
You look great!
I used to be soooooo excited for Apple Events (the presentations😆) especially when Steve Jobs announced them. Now I can hardly bother and just read AI summaries of the press releases and sometimes even a few days later.
Yeah, I'll pass on Gemini integrations. Removing "do no evil" from their mission is pretty clear to me. Graphene OS looks pretty nice these days
I didn’t think i wanted to leave iOS so soon. They are so behind.
Stilllllllll the outdate AI function, with a small update.
looks like it finally makes sense for me to upgrade from my iPhone X then... 😀

I hope they improved the erase tool, it’s trash
People will use this on their phones but for serious work, they will default to Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT…they are not going to pull up Siri AI lol
No HomePods were shown in any footage. The sooner they release the new gen, the better. Hopefully these don't have the same failing capacitor like the OG's had.
Oh hum. What about something really exciting? 😎😎
Interesting. Not useful. I don’t need an Ai to micromanage my life. I got it covered. 🎉 I have an Ai to do my work and personal projects. Nicely separated from my personal life. Though thanks for the update!
Apple has completely lost the plot. First time I need literally nothing they're working on
Why should we care now? Honestly every other phone company already has this and apple users can easily download Gemini so what's the point.
Wow, while I think the speed improvements are commendable, this is a privacy nightmare. This whole WWDC was like a celebration of the Panopticon. I think I'll stick with iOS26 for as long as I can.
Siri AI seems great if all you use are the Apple apps in the Apple ecosystem. Not impressed.
