Apple Tests Chatbot-Style Siri for iOS 27 With Multi-Step Commands

The revamp points to a June WWDC preview with a phased release leaning on Google’s Gemini models.

Overview

  • Apple is internally testing a smarter Siri that can carry out several tasks from a single sentence, such as starting a timer and reading the weather in one go.
  • Reporting says Siri will shift to a chatbot with a dedicated app that supports voice or text conversations and saves past chats for quick recall.
  • Apple and Google confirmed a multi-year deal that bases Apple’s next foundation models on Gemini, with reports pointing to a custom Gemini-built model for Siri.
  • iOS 27 is expected to add an Extensions setting that lets Siri hand off questions to third-party chatbots like ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude.
  • Coverage indicates Apple plans to show these capabilities at WWDC in June, with some features rolling out as a labeled Preview before they are finished.
