Apple’s new AI-powered voice control set to reshape iPhone interaction
Apple is preparing to launch a powerful voice-control system in iOS 26 that integrates with its upgraded Siri assistant. The tool will let users control apps, complete tasks, and trigger features using natural language, leveraging Apple’s App Intents API. It marks a significant step toward hands-free device operation and smarter contextual understanding. Testing is underway, and the feature is expected later this year. Apple is also finalizing its Liquid Glass interface and iOS 26, while facing challenges in AI talent retention as another top engineer departs for Meta.
Apple is quietly evolving Siri into a key AI assistant, signaling a broader shift in how users interact with devices.
