Apple Turns to Nvidia Blackwell Chips for Siri Revamp at WWDC 2026

• Apple will migrate Siri to Nvidia Blackwell chips on Google Cloud, moving away from in-house AI servers.
• New AI-powered Siri app and features will arrive with iOS 27 in September 2026.

On June 5, 2026 (UTC), The Information reported that Apple will announce a major Siri overhaul at WWDC 2026, shifting the assistant to run on Nvidia Blackwell B200 chips hosted by Google Cloud. This marks a notable departure from Apple’s in-house infrastructure for AI processing, taking place at Apple’s annual event in San Jose.

Apple had previously tried deploying Google’s Gemini AI on its Private Cloud Compute servers, but performance constraints limited effectiveness. Consequently, Apple is turning to Google’s data centers and Nvidia’s leading hardware to deliver more powerful generative AI capabilities for Siri.

This decision underscores Nvidia’s industry lead in AI chips and highlights Apple’s reliance on outside partners for large-scale generative AI. Privacy has become a major point of attention as user data is processed through third-party centers, but Apple is mitigating concerns by leveraging Nvidia’s confidential compute technology to encrypt data during processing.

The revamped Siri will introduce broader, context-aware intelligence alongside a dedicated Siri app positioned to challenge AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude. These new features and the updated Siri experience are set to launch with iOS 27 in September 2026.

On June 4, 2026, MacRumors also confirmed Apple’s move to Google Cloud and Nvidia Blackwell chips for Siri, echoing the emphasis on privacy controls and performance improvements.
