Report: Apple May Demo Gemini-Powered Siri in February (iOS 26.4)

Reports say Apple is preparing to show off the first real results of its Gemini partnership in the second half of February, likely tied to iOS 26.4.

If you are waiting for Siri to finally feel useful, this could be the moment where Apple starts delivering the “new Siri” capabilities it has been hinting at for a long time.

If your daily pain is different, like finding one paragraph inside a PDF, screenshot, recording, or slides on your Mac, try Fenn.
Fenn is Private AI that finds any file on your Mac, and it opens the exact moment inside your files.

What’s being reported

Here’s what the current reporting is pointing to:

• Apple plans to demonstrate Gemini-powered Siri functionality in the second half of February.

• The first wave of improvements is expected to arrive as part of iOS 26.4, potentially starting with a beta release.

• The upgrade is expected to focus on Siri being more aware of what’s on your screen, more personalized, and better at taking actions across apps.

In short, this is about Siri doing more than answering trivia. It is about Siri handling real tasks.

Why this matters

Siri’s core promise has always been speed. Say what you want, get it done, move on.

But for years, Siri has felt limited in exactly the moments people care about most:

• When you need context, not just a keyword

• When you want a multi-step action, not a single command

• When you want the assistant to work across apps reliably

If Apple is ready to demo this publicly in February, it is a signal that the shift is finally happening.

The thing a smarter Siri still might not fix for power users

Even if Siri gets dramatically better, a common “knowledge work” bottleneck remains:

You remember the clause, the quote, the number, or the paragraph, but you do not remember the filename.

That is not a voice assistant problem. That is an inside-your-files search problem.

Professionals who live in long documents and messy folders need three things:

• Search inside content, not just filenames

• Jump to the exact spot, not just open a file

• Keep everything private, especially for sensitive work

How to solve the “find the exact passage” problem today with Fenn

Fenn is Private AI that finds any file on your Mac. It searches inside your content locally and opens the exact moment inside your files, like specific PDF pages, slide positions, text inside images, audio timestamps, and video frames.

Step 1: Add your folders as sources

1. Open Fenn

2. Select the folders where your work lives (PDFs, docs, screenshots, slidees)

3. Let Fenn index everything locally on your Mac

Step 2: Search the way you remember things

• Use keyword search when you remember exact wording

• Use semantic search when you remember the idea

• Use hybrid when you want both precision and recall

Step 3: Open the exact match

Click a result and jump to the relevant spot, so you stop reopening the wrong file over and over.
