Siri is Apple's voice assistant, introduced in 2011 with the iPhone 4s and today a fixed part of iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod, AirPods and Vision Pro. Siri can be triggered directly by voice using "Siri" or "Hey Siri" – or alternatively via the side button, Home button, Digital Crown or the AirPods stem gesture. Through deep integration with Apple Intelligence and a specially adapted Gemini model from Google, Siri is evolving into a far more context-aware, conversational and App Intents–capable assistant that can act deeply within apps, understand personal content and complete multi-step tasks.
