In Case You Missed It: U.S. Most Read Research Week of June 08 – June 12

marked Tim Cook's last event as CEO and delivered to expectations set for broader AI

capabilities, including the much-awaited completely revamped Siri, which is now expected to be available to US consumers in

Fall 2026. At the heart of the event was a material refresh to Siri and Apple Intelligence, including an overhaul of Siri's

architecture, now powered by next-generation Apple Foundation Models developed in partnership with Google's Gemini. The

new Siri, called Siri AI, is anchored by an orchestrator spanning across personal context, world knowledge, app actions, and

on-screen awareness, and in combination with Apple Intelligence, powers a broad set of new experiences and features. While

the Apple Foundational Model capabilities embedded in Siri AI are largely in line with expectations, we believe the

differentiation will be relative to integration with the wide swath of native apps (and third-party apps) and system

actions to enable personal context to be turned into app actions. For the initial roll-out, Siri AI will be launched in English

only, and will not be available on iOS and iPadOS in the EU and will not be available at all in China. While the fall launch of Siri

AI in the US will be a significant positive for the holiday sales season, the future roll-out to other geographies as well as other

languages will be a critical watchpoint for investors going forward. The announcements also highlighted a potential

monetization path with server-dependent capabilities (e.g. image generation) carrying daily usage caps, and elevated limits

for premium users to be bundled into most iCloud+ tiers, likely supporting incremental adoption of iCloud, further driving

tailwinds to Services growth .
