At Apple’s WWDC 2026 keynote on June 8, Craig Federighi introduced Siri AI, a major update to the company’s voice assistant powered by Apple Intelligence. He stated that “AI is incredibly powerful technology with the potential to shape society in profound ways” but criticized some companies for “pursuing AI, for the sake of AI, without clear regard for the people” it is meant to serve. Federighi said Apple’s approach centers AI “around you and your needs,” integrating it into everyday products and designing it “with privacy at every step.” He added that while many AI providers “talk about privacy,” most retain personal interactions by default, whereas Apple believes “privacy in AI is non-negotiable.” Federighi also announced that Siri AI would not be initially available in the European Union on iOS and iPadOS, stating the company is “working hard to find a path forward that preserves our users’ privacy and security.” He noted that in China, the features would not be available while Apple works “through regulatory requirements.” The update includes customizable Siri voices, improved dictation accuracy, and more conversational capabilities, extending to CarPlay and AirPods.
“Working together with Google and leveraging the technologies behind their Gemini family of models, we created the latest Apple Foundation models to power our Apple Intelligence experiences and to provide even better support for the ways you're using intelligence in your apps.”
“Developers with fewer than 2 million first-time App Store downloads will be able to use Apple Foundation Models running in Private Cloud Compute with no cloud API cost. It's access to frontier level intelligence with unparalleled privacy protections. Because getting started exploring ideas shouldn't be held back by inf...”
“AI is incredibly powerful technology with the potential to shape society in profound ways, and, with proper care, unlock meaningful benefits for people everywhere. Still, some appear to be racing forward, seemingly pursuing AI, for the sake of AI, without clear regard for the people, all of us, that it's ultimately mea...”
“We believe that truly helpful AI must be centered around you and your needs. This means integrating AI deep into the products you use every day, grounding it in your personal context and the apps you rely on, and of course designing it with privacy at every step.”
“Today, many AI providers talk about privacy, but by default, most of them retain your personal interactions, leaving the onus on you to defend your privacy, like using temporary chats, deleting conversations, or even turning off entire features. At Apple, we believe privacy in AI is non-negotiable.”
“Siri AI will not be available initially in the EU on iOS and iPadOS. We're working hard to find a path forward that preserves our users' privacy and security. In China, Siri AI and the other new Apple Intelligence features will not be available while we work through regulatory requirements.”
“With the new design especially, there's really a unified design across all of them as well, and so we're thinking of them as one thing — it felt very unifying and very simple to say what is the system that you're going to be running by and large in 2026.”
“When you come at it with the right mindset, AI can be the ultimate resource and the ultimate teacher, and translation is just one example that now empowers you to learn a new language by exposing you interactively to both languages.”
“It is the kind of thing that really only comes along once a decade. And this is the first time we've done it across all our platforms.”
“At Apple, we ultimately focus on taking these kinds of major technologies and finding the way to make them natural, accessible to everyone. And that does take careful consideration and hard work. And we also our vision of AI is not exclusively about a chatbot interface. It's about putting intelligence where it is in yo...”
“What it does is whenever your phone needs more storage because you're trying to download more things, it will offload that content. It'll keep the little thumbnails around so it feels like those photos are there, but now those photos and videos aren't actually taking space on your phone anymore. They're purely on the c...”
“We had something working but it didn't converge quality‑wise the way we needed it to; as you get off the beaten path with Siri it's open‑ended what you might ask and we wanted to be really, really reliable, and we weren't able to achieve that reliability in the time we thought initially we could get it done.”
“When we realized in the spring that it just wasn't gonna hit the Apple quality level, we had to make the announcement that we were gonna move on to V2 of our architecture that really had the legs to get us to the quality that we want for our customers.”
“I think with macOS you would lose what makes iPad — the ultimate touch device; we want to retain the simplicity of the iPad while still allowing users who want to go deeper to push it at their own pace.”
“With background processing on iPad it's always visible — an app has to tell the system what background task it wants to run, report progress and allow the user to cancel it; so there aren't hard limits in that respect, but users are always aware of and in control instead of it just happening endlessly.”
