Apple bekräftar nu i ett uttalande till CNBC att nästa generation av Siri kommer att drivas av Googles AI-teknik Gemini. Efter en noggrann utvärdering har företaget landat i att Googles lösning utgör den mest kapabla grunden för Apples framtida AI-satsningar.
Beslutet innebär en stor förändring för den digitala assistenten som länge har ansetts ligga efter sina konkurrenter när det gäller naturlig interaktion och problemlösning.
Ett kraftfullare sikte på användarens vardag
Genom att använda Google Gemini får Siri tillgång till en betydligt större språkmodell än Apples egenutvecklade alternativ. Denna uppgradering förväntas göra assistenten mer avancerad och bättre på att förstå komplexa instruktioner. Under den ursprungliga presentationen visade Apple exempel på hur Siri ska kunna hämta information direkt från appar som Mail och Meddelanden. Användare ska till exempel kunna ställa frågor om flygtider eller lunchbokningar baserat på innehåll i privata meddelanden.
Lansering planeras till våren
Den nya och mer personliga versionen av Siri väntas göra entré i samband med uppdateringen till iOS 19.4. Lanseringen för den breda allmänheten sker sannolikt under mars eller april 2026. Apple presenterade visionen om den smartare assistenten redan under 2024, men projektet drabbades förra året av förseningar. De nya funktionerna inkluderar en djupare förståelse för vad som händer på skärmen samt möjligheten att styra specifika funktioner inuti olika appar på ett mer sömlöst sätt.

Some of David Bowie’s bandmates have joined the countless number of people paying tribute to the music icon on the 10th anniversary of his death.
The posts have all been shared online, and come as this past Saturday (January 10) marked exactly a decade since Bowie passed away after an 18-month battle with cancer.
His death came as a shock in 2016, particularly as his health battles had not been publicly disclosed, and given he had released his landmark final album ‘Blackstar’ just two days before his passing.

Elon’s super cool Tesla diner experience, which opened to protests, slashed its menu almost immediately, restricted its hours, and angered neighbors by blocking an apartment building’s view, is now described as a ghost town.
Less than six months since it opened, Elon Musk’s Tesla Diner has the feel of a ghost town. Gone is the Optimus robot serving popcorn, gone are the carnivore-diet-inspired ”Epic Bacon” strips, gone are the hours-long, hundred-person lines wrapped around the block. Even the restaurant’s all-star chef, Eric Greenspan, is gone. The Hollywood burger-and-fries shop seems like a shell of the bustling eatery it was when it opened in late July.

Jack Osbourne has said that his late father Ozzy is visiting family members in their dreams.
Ozzy passed away in July at the age of 76 from a heart attack and had been in poor health beforehand, suffering from coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s.
Now, in a new interview with Billy Morrison on Sirius XM, his son, Jack, said that he keeps seeing Ozzy in his dreams.
“We all keep having dreams about him. In the dreams, he is laughing,” Jack said. “And he is saying, ‘Just stop fucking crying’. He’s laughing every time. Me and my wife, my daughters, all the same thing. We keep seeing him in our dreams, laughing.”

One Battle After Another won best picture – musical or comedy at the2026 Golden Globes, beating out Blue Moon, Bugonia, No Other Choice, Nouvelle Vague and Marty Supreme in the category.
“This is an incredible honor,” producer Sara Murphy said, beginning the acceptance speech on behalf of the film’s cast and crew. “I want to agree with Paul [Thomas Anderson] that this has been one of the most incredible filmmaking experiences, once in a lifetime, due largely in part to the person that we share this award with, the late Adam Somner, who we miss every day.” Somner, who was also a producer on the film, died from thyroid cancer on Nov. 27, 2024, at the age of 57.
