Apple Sets 2026 AI Plan With Siri Overhaul and Health+ Coach

Bloomberg reporting points to a staged rollout that starts with Siri upgrades in iOS 26.4 this spring, followed by a visual refresh plus Health+ in iOS 27.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets, citing Bloomberg, report that iOS 27 is slated to add a visually redesigned Siri, an AI-powered web search tool, and an AI health agent bundled with a new Health+ service.
  • The first phase of the Siri revamp is expected in iOS 26.4 around March or April 2026, bringing generative AI capabilities before the cosmetic redesign arrives with iOS 27 in June.
  • Health+ is described as a 2026 subscription offering with personalized coaching, expert-led videos, and nutrition tracking, delivered through an AI assistant that taps user health data.
  • Apple has moved Fitness+ into the Health organization and the offering is under review as part of a broader wellness reorganization tied to the coming AI features, according to reports.
  • Some reports say Apple plans to run very large cloud models for the revamped Siri, potentially using a Gemini-based system from Google, though Apple has not confirmed any partnership.
