There are rumors that Apple is going to give Siri a complete makeover and to turn it into an advanced AI chatbot like ChatGPT. This upgrade, known as Campos, has been in the works for a while and is rumored to be released during the WWDC 2026 conference, according to Apple’s foremost expert Mark Gurman.
Besides, the future version of Siri will rely on a customized version of Google’s Gemini AI for its basic engine, which is quite an important change for Apple’s AI direction. However, the most interesting fact is how much the chatbot will be involved with Apple devices. After the roll-out, Siri will provide a chatting interface that is able to recognize and naturally continue communication with a user depending on the use of their iPhone, iPad, or Mac — just like how people have a conversation with ChatGPT now.
The Guru mentions the chief characteristic of that the assistant is performing to and fro talks, which is the same as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini taking place in the interaction mode. The new and improved Siri will respond to traditional voice commands and a button click, thereby allowing the users to utilize the AI chat capabilities without having to open another application.
What This Means for AI and App Ecosystems
Absolutely, with the implementation of a ChatGPT-like AI across iOS, Apple may easily alter the AI landscape altogether. The iPhone continues to keep its position on top of the list of smartphones with the highest sales globally, and the integration of a chatbot might lead to users relying on AI apps less and less.
This development could potentially impact OpenAI’s ChatGPT user base, especially as Apple is unlikely to introduce ads into Siri — unlike ChatGPT’s free tier, which is expected to include advertising.
Google Partnership and AI Hosting
Another major claim in Gurman’s report is that Apple and Google are in talks to host Siri’s AI processing on Google’s servers, using Google’s TPU chips. This move would represent a direct challenge to Nvidia, which currently dominates the AI hardware market with its GPUs.
The partnership could also affect the competitive dynamics among tech giants, potentially boosting Apple’s AI capabilities while strengthening Google’s position in the AI infrastructure space.
