Apple is making bold strides in artificial intelligence with a major upgrade to Siri, its iconic voice assistant. At the heart of this transformation Apple upgrades Siri with a new internal AI testing app called Veritas, designed to simulate real-world chatbot interactions and refine Siri’s capabilities before public release. This development marks Apple’s most ambitious attempt yet to compete with AI leaders like OpenAI and Google.
What Is Veritas, and How Does It Function?
Veritas, which translates to “truth” in Latin, is an Apple engineers-only ChatGPT-like application with multi-turn conversations, recalling previous interactions, and following-up queries—something that replicates the actions of sophisticated AI chatbots. Developed on a new framework known as Linwood, Veritas combines Apple’s in-house large language models with third-party AI technologies to provide a solid testing ground for Siri to grow.
Siri’s Smarter Future: Context-Aware and Capable
The new Siri is better said to be more intelligent, context-sensitive, and better ingrained in people’s everyday lives. Contrary to its current version, the new Siri will perform complicated, multi-step actions across apps. From editing photos to searching emails to controlling playlists, Siri will soon be able to perform commands that need subtle understanding and personalization. Apple aims to make Siri less like a stand-alone assistant and more like an integral part of the experience.
Timeline: When Will the New Siri Land?
Originally planned to debut with iOS 18, the overhauled Siri now will supposedly launch in March 2026, with an early look at its new interface apparently coming later in 2025. Apple is said to be building a more “humanoid” Siri interface, designed to allow users to interact naturally and emotionally with the assistant.
Why Apple upgrades Siri in New App?
This update is not merely a technological boost—it’s a strategic play to regain ground in the AI competition. As rivals unveil more sophisticated aids, Apple’s Veritas app and Siri redesign better reflect a strengthened focus on innovation and customer-oriented design.
