Ammon News - If you can't wait to try out Siri 2.0, which will arrive with the release of iOS 26.4 this spring. There is a way to get the updated version of Siri in just a couple of weeks and that is by installing the iOS 26.4 Beta releases.

The developer version of iOS 26.4 Beta 1 will be dropped by Apple the week of February 23rd according to Bloomberg's Apple insider Mark Gurman who shared the date today in his Power On column.

Siri will also be aware of what is on your screen and the iOS 26.4 Beta should debut its new brain courtesy of the $1 billion deal between Apple and Google. Titled "Apple Foundation Model (AFM) v10" by the tech giant, a custom developed 1.2 trillion parameter Gemini 3 AI model will power Siri. Siri's agentic capabilities will also debut with the iOS 26.4 Beta. With this feature, you'll be able to ask Siri to find a photo of your Driver's License and email it to your insurance company and Siri will do it for you.
