- Apple is sending many Siri engineers to an AI coding bootcamp to learn AI-assisted programming ahead of Siri's expected upgrade at WWDC.
- A portion of the Siri team remains to maintain and evaluate Siri's performance and safety, while others are learning to catch up with AI coding standards.
- The Siri team has been seen as slow in adopting AI tools internally, which contributed to delays in delivering the promised Apple Intelligence version of Siri.
- Apple's AI leadership changed, with Craig Federighi now overseeing AI and Mike Rockwell leading Siri; the company also partnered with Google to use Gemini models for Siri.
- Other Apple updates include CarPlay Ultra's limited rollout, the 2025 Apple Design Awards winners, new headphone releases, and rumors about iOS 27 features and Siri becoming a standalone chatbot app.
- European broadcasters are advocating for stricter EU regulations on platforms like Apple TV and assistants like Siri.
