According to a new rumor from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple may be working on implementing an LLM backend for Siri in 2026 which would allow users to conduct more natural conversations with the AI. The update may potentially debut with iOS 19 but significant work is still required to prevent issues such as 'hallucinations' where the model generates content that appears real but is not based on factual information. Apple initially stated they would not release a chatbot; however, this new report suggests that stance has changed and the company is looking into ways to expand Siri's capabilities.
