Apple is set to enhance Siri with Gemini, allowing for independent finetuning and improved emotional support responses. The partnership with Google will ensure that user data remains private, and the Gemini-powered Siri aims to provide more accurate answers and better handle complex queries. A gradual rollout of these features is expected, with some launching this spring.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai expressed optimism about finalizing a deal for Apple's AI technology, called Gemini, within the year. This partnership is expected to enhance Google's competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI market.
