Overview
- Apple will preview iOS 27 and a major Siri overhaul during its WWDC keynote on June 8 with developer betas expected immediately after and a wider release planned in the fall.
- The redesigned Siri is reported to become a standalone conversational app that supports text, voice and images, keeps chat history, understands screen context and can handle multi‑step tasks.
- Apple has confirmed a multi‑year collaboration with Google and multiple outlets report parts of the new Siri and Apple Intelligence may be powered initially by Google’s Gemini models while Apple builds its own stack.
- Core apps such as Camera, Photos and Wallet are set to gain specific AI tools including natural‑language photo edits, visual scene recognition, receipt scanning and bill‑splitting, and iOS 27 may add multitasking features to prepare for a foldable iPhone.
- Apple plans a cautious rollout with privacy and history controls, likely device limits for advanced AI features, a possible beta or waitlist for Siri 2.0, and the announcements come as company leadership prepares a transition later this year.
