Overview
- Thursday's Bloomberg leak, echoed by multiple outlets, sketches iOS 27 features Apple plans to preview at WWDC on June 8, including a Dynamic Island-centered “Search or Ask” entry and a standalone Siri chatbot app.
- The new Siri will present results as rich cards that expand from the Dynamic Island, support multi-turn conversations with saved chat history, and let users upload photos and documents to queries.
- Apple is building an Extensions framework to route queries to outside AI providers and is reportedly drawing core assistant capability from Google’s Gemini models rather than relying only on in-house models.
- Camera and Photos will gain AI modes — a dedicated Siri camera mode, customizable camera widgets, and generative editing tools called Reframe and Extend — that can hand off images to third-party AI agents for analysis.
- The overhaul follows long delays, a recent class-action settlement over unmet Apple Intelligence promises, and sources say Apple expects a public rollout around the September iPhone launch after the June preview.
