Siri has been significantly improved with Apple Intelligence, the flagship feature of iOS 18, and improved voice recognition allows it to process more natural language requests. Apple Intelligence's Siri also has a chatbot function that supports text input, and can now give you answers when you ask how to use your Apple device or ask for cooking recipes.

According to Garman, as part of Apple's efforts to increase its presence in the AI field, a new version of Siri called 'LLM Siri' with improved dialogue capabilities is being developed. LLM Siri will utilize more advanced large-scale language models (LLMs) and aim to respond to more natural dialogue and complex requests, similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
LLM Siri also now supports the App Intents framework, which allows for more precise control of third-party apps through more natural interactions. As part of Apple Intelligence, Siri can also be used to compose and summarize text.
In addition, iOS 18 is planned to be improved to understand the context based on user data and take action using on-screen information. In recent years, Apple has been actively recruiting people with expertise in conversational AI interfaces, suggesting that it is focusing on developing technology to realize more natural conversations.
This LLM Siri is being tested as an app that runs on iPhones, iPads and Macs, and is scheduled to be announced as part of the iOS 19 and macOS 16 updates in 2025. However, Garman reports that it is expected that general users will not be able to actually use it until around spring 2026.
ChatGPT will be added to Apple Intelligence in December 2024, and other chatbot options such as Gemini will be available in 2025. However, Garman said Apple aims to develop these chatbot options in-house while respecting user privacy.
