In a new report by Mark Gurman, Apple insider at Bloomberg, it looks like Apple is finally ready to show off a much smarter version of Siri this February. The company is reportedly planning a two-step rollout that starts with a big preview in a few weeks and ends with a total transformation of how our iPhones work by the end of the year.
What is happening this February?
Gurman reports that Apple is preparing a major demonstration of its new AI technology in the second half of February. For the first time, we should see Siri actually doing the things Apple promised a while ago, like looking at what is on your screen to help you finish tasks. This is all part of the new partnership where Google’s Gemini technology will help provide the "brains" for Apple’s assistant.
Because there are so many moving parts, keeping up with everything that has been rumored vs. officially announced when it comes to Apple Intelligence can become a bit of a challenge. To help with this, we thought it would be helpful to put together a quick schedule of what we can expect in the upcoming months.

If you are wondering what "Project Campos" is, it is simply the internal code name for the new Siri project. What will reportedly set this new Siri apart from the old is that it will evolve into more than just a voice that sets timers or checks the weather. Instead, it will be more conversational, remember what you just said to it, and (like Gemini) be able to have a real back-and-forth conversation with you.
This matters because it will finally allow Apple's Siri to catch up to other modern chatbots, like Gemini on Pixel and Galaxy devices. For a long time, Siri has felt extremely behind the times, but by using Google’s powerful tech to build this new system, Apple is making sure Siri can handle complex questions. This will hopefully and finally bridge that gap that Siri has for so long struggled to close.

Siri's "graduation"
It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for Siri to finally graduate from being just "basic," and Gurman’s latest info suggests the wait is almost over. I’m personally most excited about the February demo; we’ve heard the promises, but seeing what the new Siri will actually do will be the moment we know if this is the real deal.
I think the two-step approach is smart. Giving us some features in iOS 26.4 this spring keeps us happy while they polish the massive "Campos" overhaul for the fall. If you’ve been frustrated with Siri lately (and let’s be honest, who hasn't?), this February might finally be the turning point. We’ll be following the news closely, so expect more updates from us as soon as that February demo happens.
