FULL STORY
======================================================================

Apples WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) is usually all about software, 
but this year were expecting it to be more specifically focused on AI, and 
Siri could be the star of the show. 

As spotted by Phone Arena , Apples latest WWDC 2024 teaser is in similar 
colors to Apples digital assistant, with blue, purple, white, and pink all 
featuring heavily in both. So, while Apple hasnt said what well see at WWDC 
2024, this is a good sign that Siri will take center stage. 

As for what Siris upgrades could entail, well, we heard as early as last year 
that Siri could be getting an AI-powered overhaul . One that puts it at the 
heart of the likely AI-infused iOS 18 . (Image credit: Apple) 

This could  among other things  allow it to better understand complex, 
multi-part requests, and make Siri more versatile and conversational , in 
much the same way as you can have a conversation with ChatGPT . 

Whatever Apples plans for Siri entail though, it could certainly use an 
upgrade. We recently put Siri up against Bixby and Gemini , and it was 
roundly beaten by Samsungs Bixby assistant  which itself is generally seen as 
worse than Google Assistant. AI might not be the answer 

Interestingly though it did beat the AI-powered Gemini, so simply adding AI 
to Siri might not be what it needs, especially since leaks suggest Apple 
might use Gemini (or perhaps ChatGPT ) for these AI capabilities, rather than 
building its own AI from the ground up. 

Still, with a growing number of AI-powered rivals, Siri cant afford to stand 
still, so were almost certain we will see some  probably AI-focused  upgrades 
to the assistant at WWDC 2024. 

Theres not long to wait either, as WWDC 2024 kicks off on June 10, at 10am PT 
/ 1pm ET / 6pm BST, or at 1am ACT on June 11 in Australia. As well as 
upgrades to Siri were expecting to see iOS 18, iPadOS 18, watchOS 11 , and 
upgrades to most of Apples other software. There might be new hardware too, 
but dont count on it. 

The WWDC keynote will be streamed live online, so youll be able to tune in,
