Overview
- Multiple reports citing Bloomberg say iOS 26.4 beta 1 is slated for the week of February 23, with wider availability likely in March or April.
- Early Siri additions in iOS 26.4 are expected to include personal context from messages, emails and notes, on‑screen awareness, and broader in‑app and cross‑app controls.
- A more advanced, chatbot‑style Siri—codenamed Campos—is reportedly tied to iOS 27, with a preview at WWDC 2026 and rollout later in the year.
- Reporting indicates iOS 27 will prioritize performance, bug fixes and stability, and Apple is not expected to abandon its Liquid Glass design.
- Apple has confirmed use of Google’s Gemini alongside its own models, though accounts differ on where heavy processing runs, with Google pointing to its cloud and Apple emphasizing Private Cloud Compute; some coverage suggests early Siri features may require iPhone 15 Pro or newer.
