Overview
- Leaked recreations on May 28, 2026 show Apple is redesigning Siri as a standalone chat‑style app that holds conversation history, accepts text, voice, files and images, and can auto‑delete chats.
- A new system‑wide “Search or Ask” entry, accessed by swiping down from the top center or using Dynamic Island, will surface rich text cards and let users open multi‑turn conversations inside the Siri app.
- An Extensions framework in iOS 27 is reported to let users route queries to third‑party AI models installed from the App Store, with Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT tested internally.
- Camera and Photos are getting generative tools and a dedicated Siri camera mode that enable on‑device editing like Reframe and Extend plus customizable camera controls and natural‑language edits.
- Behind the scenes Apple aims to run distilled, smaller models on devices for privacy and speed while sending heavier requests to Google Cloud using a licensed Gemini model and Nvidia confidential compute, and many features remain in testing ahead of a WWDC preview on June 8.
