Mike Rockwell takes ownership of Siri from AI head John Giannandrea, Bloomberg reports.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has lost confidence in AI head John Giannandrea and appointed a new leader, Bloomberg reports.
Mike Rockwell, who created the Vision Pro, will now be in charge of revamping Siri, a key component of Apple Intelligence. It promises a more fluid, ChatGPT-like experience as well as the ability to take actions on the user’s behalf. (Something Samsung already does on the S25.)
Apple first updated Siri in October with a few minor upgrades. It promised a more full-featured AI assistant this year, but instead we got reports of delay after delay—first from 2025 to 2026 and then to 2027.
