With iOS 26.4, Apple is preparing one of the most important software updates in recent memory. The focus is on the long-awaited improvements for Siri. A new report now suggests that these changes not only affect the voice assistant itself, but could also bring very specific benefits to Apple Notes. This appears to be particularly advantageous for users who regularly collect and save information.
Several significant developments regarding Siri's future have occurred in recent days. At the beginning of the week, Apple and Google officially confirmed a new partnership. As part of this collaboration, Google's Gemini technology will become part of Apple Intelligence and will, among other things, support major Siri upgrades.
Shortly afterward, The Information published a report with additional details about the planned features. One passage suggests that Siri will be much more closely integrated with Apple Notes in iOS 26.4.
Siri upgrades in iOS 26.4 with a focus on Apple Notes
According to the report, Siri will soon be able to perform tasks that were previously only possible to a limited extent or not at all. These include creating a notes document with a recipe or information on topics such as the most common causes of drug addiction.
This capability suggests that Siri will no longer just provide answers, but can also save content directly to Apple Notes. This is likely related to the previously announced App Intentes feature, which gives Siri new ways to perform actions within individual apps and across multiple apps.
Why saving Siri responses is a real advantage
Apple Notes is frequently used to gather information from the internet or from AI assistants. However, this process has been cumbersome so far. With text-based AI responses, content must be manually copied and pasted into a note. When using voice-based AI, there is currently no easy way to permanently save responses.
With iOS 26.4, this could change. Siri appears to be able to automatically save information to a new note. The option to add to existing notes is also a logical next step. While previous Siri note-related features existed, they offered little practical use without powerful AI.
The role of Gemini and modern AI in iOS 26.4
The key difference lies in the new technical foundation. With Gemini support, Siri gains access to modern Large Language Models. This allows the assistant to better understand, structure, and meaningfully present content.
Combined with the deep system integration of iOS 26.4, this creates a scenario in which Siri not only competes with external AI chatbots but even surpasses them in certain everyday tasks. The ability to directly save results to Apple Notes, in particular, makes Siri a serious tool for research and knowledge organization.
Siri, AI and Apple Notes: What iOS 26.4 could change
iOS 26.4 could significantly change Apple Notes. The planned Siri upgrades go beyond mere voice improvements and are clearly aimed at productive use. When information can not only be retrieved via voice command but also directly saved in a structured format, a new, efficient workflow emerges.
Should the information in the report be confirmed, iOS 26.4 will not only be an important update for Siri, but also a significant step for Apple Notes and the practical application of AI within the Apple ecosystem. (Image: Shutterstock / sdx15)
