Apple WWDC Teaser Points to Major Siri Redesign for iOS 27

The artwork signals a chatbot-style assistant preview that could redefine how iPhone users ask, type and search.

Overview

  • Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said Sunday that Apple’s WWDC 2026 artwork offers a first look at Siri’s new interface for iOS 27, with a Dynamic Island prompt that reads “Search or Ask” and a glowing cursor.
  • The redesign is reported to make Siri work like a modern chatbot with back‑and‑forth conversation, multi‑step requests in one command, and awareness of what is on screen and in personal context.
  • Apple is testing a dedicated Siri app that stores conversation history and aims to bring Siri and Spotlight into a single, searchable place.
  • Reports say the assistant will run on new foundation models, with several outlets naming Google’s Gemini as the likely underpinning, though Apple has not confirmed the model choice.
  • Apple has set WWDC for June 8–12 for the preview, with iOS 27 expected later in 2026 and some advanced Siri features likely limited to newer iPhones, as other iOS 27 work targets speed, stability, battery life and tools for work and school.
