Overview
- Reports say Apple will ship a dedicated Siri app in iOS 27 that keeps threaded conversations and lets users continue chats across iPhone, iPad and Mac via iCloud.
- The app is described as supporting text and voice input plus file attachments such as images and PDFs, and it will show past conversations in card or list views for easy continuation.
- Multiple outlets report Apple will lean on Google’s Gemini for core responses while adding an extensions framework so users or developers can route queries to third‑party AI backends.
- The redesign is said to grant Siri systemwide access to on‑device personal data like email, photos, calendar and notes so it can perform context‑aware actions and multi‑step requests.
- Apple is scheduled to preview iOS 27 and the new Siri at WWDC on June 8 with a public beta expected this summer, a move that follows last year’s delayed features and a related $250 million settlement and that has raised privacy and public‑reaction concerns.
