Mark Gurman’s got another AI/Siri report and it’s a doozy. According to the latest rumors, Apple is cooking up an LLM-powered Siri for iOS 19 and macOS 16.

The idea is that this would be yet another Siri reboot, but this time built on Apple’s own AI models. Think ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini but with that special Apple sauce (and privacy-focused access to your on-device data).

Here’s where I get a bit twitchy, though. Apple has been tight-lipped about the details of its AI strategy, and it’s starting to wear thin. If this massive LLM overhaul is really coming next year, what exactly are we getting with the current “Apple Intelligence” features that are supposed to land this year?

If, after all the WWDC and iPhone release hype, we get through all these betas only to find that Siri is still struggling with basic tasks, and then Apple says, “But wait until next year, we’ve got this whole new system that will finally fix everything!” Well, that will be just a little heartbreaking for me.
