Overview
- Apple’s developer conference, set for June 8–12, will run mostly online with an in-person kickoff at Apple Park on June 8 and a free global stream on the Apple Developer app, Apple.com, YouTube and bilibili in China.
- Across five days, Apple says it will host more than 100 video sessions plus interactive workshops and online meetups to brief developers on new software and tools.
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple is readying a redesigned Siri for iOS 27 and macOS 27 as a standalone app with an “Ask Siri” chat interface that takes typed or spoken requests.
- The reported Siri revamp would save chat history, accept files and images, switch voice modes, run actions inside apps and draw on personal data from messages, email and notes.
- Separate reports say Apple may lean on Google’s Gemini to power some AI features and is testing AI-centric hardware like a home device, camera-equipped AirPods, smart glasses, a new HomePod and a compact home sensor.
