Apple’s biggest Siri overhaul in nearly 15 years is taking shape ahead of WWDC 2026 on June 8, 2026, and the first detailed look at what the revamped assistant might look like comes from Bloomberg.
These aren’t official images or promotional materials, but renders based on the information that the outlet has collected from its sources. Furthermore, Apple often tests multiple designs and versions before releasing the final version of a product, so it could still differ.
What is the new Siri overhaul all about?
The new Siri gets a complete visual redesign with iOS 27, which includes a cleaner interface built around the Dynamic Island, where it resides as an always-on agent. In addition to accessing it via voice, you should also be able to access it through an entirely new gesture: swiping down from the top center of the screen.
That gesture will reportedly open a new Search or Ask interface, replacing the old Siri Suggestions panel. It could also let you complete your everyday tasks, such as launching apps, drafting messages, checking calendars, searching through notes, and querying the web using Apple’s new AI-powered search system, which could directly rival tools like Perplexity.
Results surface as rich text cards popping out of the Dynamic Island, and swiping further drops users into a full chatbot conversation inside the new Siri app.
What does the new Siri app look like?
As seen in the renders, the standalone Siri app resembles ChatGPT and Gemini, both in layout and function. For instance, it supports voice input, text, and file or photo attachments, and stores conversation history as a list or summarised tiles, which we’ve already seen in the existing chatbot apps.
Users can also route queries directly to third-party AI services, including ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude, via a drop-down menu from the Search or Ask interface. The rebuilt Siri model uses Google’s Gemini AI technology at its core, something that has been certain since the companies announced their partnership.
Other changes include a dedicated Siri mode inside the iOS Camera app as a replacement of the current Visual Intelligence feature and AI-powered object analysis through third-party services. While a beta release might take place after WWDC, the consumer release is targeted for September 2026, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Apple’s first foldable iPhone.
