Apple will lean on Google to help finish its bungled attempts to smarten up its virtual assistant Siri and bring other artificial intelligence features to the iPhone as the trendsetting company plays catch up in technology’s latest craze.

Google's Gemini, in a pristine state, will power Siri and the broad Apple Intelligence stack. The foundations are ready, but the execution could be better than expected.

Apple gets a faster path to a smarter Siri, while Alphabet gets Gemini in front of one of the biggest consumer audiences in the world.

A detailed new report from SemiAnalysis argues that while Apple's partnership with TSMC created the modern leading-edge foundry model, the rapid rise of AI computing is changing who pays for new chip technologies and how much influence Apple holds over each new manufacturing node.

Investment firm Wedbush says that 2026 should be a key year for Apple with a new Siri, new Google Gemini deal, and new iPhone 18 range — but definitely not a new CEO.

This increase propelled the shares to more than 32x forward earnings—a premium valuation that hinges on Apple’s success in its upcoming major platform transition.
