View original source

Ahead of its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, Bloomberg has released leaked renders detailing Apple's forthcoming AI upgrades for the iPhone's iOS 27.

  • A key feature is a revamped Siri app designed to compete with AI chatbots like ChatGPT, providing new capabilities integrated into the operating system.
  • This new version of Siri will feature enhanced responses emerging from the iPhone's Dynamic Island, allowing for quick voice queries and searches directly on the Home Screen.
  • A redesigned search interface puts AI-powered Siri right at users' fingertips, expanding functionality with a swipe gesture traditionally used for Spotlight Search.
  • Under the hood, Siri's intelligence is bolstered by Google's Gemini AI technology. The aim is to enhance functionality using both Apple's local AI models and external AI partnerships, maintaining a focus on privacy.
  • A new standalone Siri app will directly compete with other chatbots, enabling users to access chat history and upload text and media.

Apple's approach is compared to its strategy for making Google the default iPhone search engine - opting for partner collaboration over building technologies from scratch.
