Apple to Launch New AI-Powered "Answer Engine" for Siri in Spring 2026

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the best QQQ stocks to buy right now. On September 3, Bloomberg reported that Apple is planning an upgrade to its Siri voice assistant, scheduled to launch in spring 2026. The company is developing a new AI-powered search feature, internally referred to as World Knowledge Answers, to transform Siri from a limited voice assistant into a complete answer engine.

The answer engine would be capable of providing detailed responses by pulling information from across the internet, similar to ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews. The goal is to integrate AI tech into Apple’s ecosystem, with plans to weave it into Safari and Spotlight searches on iPhones and Macs in future updates.

For this, Apple is testing various LLMs, which include Google’s Gemini AI and Anthropic’s Claude, while also training its own proprietary models for specific tasks. The move is a step for Apple to more directly compete with other major players in the AI search space.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) designs, manufactures, and markets smartphones, personal computers, tablets, wearables, and accessories worldwide.

While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
