While Apple has been planning to introduce an updated version of Siri to users for some time, according to Bloomberg, they developed an app called “Veritas” for internal testing. This tool has a private structure that allows Apple employees to rapidly test new features.
Thanks to Veritas, users can search private data such as emails and messages on their phones or initiate actions through various applications. Additionally, functions that facilitate visual workflow have also been included in the testing process. The goal is to assess the practicality and usefulness of the chat bot format.
Development process and delays While this app is only used internally, it may not yet demonstrate the full benefits of Siri’s final version, it indicates that the project has advanced beyond earlier stages. When combined with the information that the Siri update has been postponed to March 2025, this progress stands out as a notable development.
Apple Intelligence and expectations The company’s goal of offering AI-powered features that prioritize privacy and user experience has been presented as a long-term vision. However, to date, despite ambitious promotions, the updates have not fully met expectations. Siri’s evolution into a version that is powered by personal data and capable of executing real-time tasks has yet to be realized.
Major transformation in 2026 According to Bloomberg, Apple plans to implement this vision in 2026. The company aims to use not only its own AI models but also at least one third-party model, considering the possibility of collaborating with OpenAI or Anthropic in June, and by August, they see a stronger potential for forming a partnership with Google.
