Apple reshuffled its AI executive ranks in 2025 amid delays to Siri’s revamp and slow updates to Apple Intelligence, with AI head John Giannandrea reportedly replaced by Mike Rockwell, who had headed the team which developed Apple’s Vision Pro augmented reality headset.

"Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google's Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year," the surprise joint statement reads.
