Apple is planning a major AI overhaul with iOS 27, but one feature stands out because it could transform your everyday experience.
According to Bloomberg, the company is testing a version of Siri that could be available across your entire iPhone, helping you in apps, messaging and even system functions.
The new Siri will essentially be built on Apple’s own AI systems, relying on Google’s Gemini to do the heavy lifting. The two are combined to create a smarter, more powerful assistant that is closer to modern AI tools.
The updated Siri, internally called Campo, is designed to handle real-world tasks. It can access your personal data like messages, notes, and emails, perform actions in apps, access messages, and even search the web using Apple’s own tools.
How Apple plans to integrate Siri into everything you do
Apple is testing a system-wide “Ask Siri” option that will appear in all built-in apps. You can highlight text, tap the option, and instantly send it into a conversation with Siri.
This makes Siri more of a chatbot. Instead of asking general questions, you can have conversations based on what’s on your screen, just like ChatGPT.
Apple is also testing a “Write with Siri” option in the keyboard that makes it easier to create or edit text on the spot.
The assistant himself will be more talkative. Bloomberg says it will support back-and-forth interactions via both text and voice, marking a clear break from the current version, which struggles with context.
A new look and a bigger role for Siri
Apple is also testing a new interface. Siri could move to the top of the screen within the dynamic island and prompt you to “Search or Ask.” The familiar design with glowing edges can be completely replaced.
There are also plans to merge Siri with Search. Apple is also working on replacing Spotlight with Siri, where you can find local files or run broader queries in one place.
You can still trigger Siri with your voice or the power button, but the experience will feel more consistent. The Bloomberg report also states that Apple is working on a standalone Siri app and a redesigned user interface.
The new AI-powered Siri is expected to debut on June 8 at WWDC 2026, with its features later rolling out as part of iOS 27 and macOS 27 in September or October.
However, Apple’s push to reinvent Siri is under pressure. New products like the HomePod and Apple TV are reportedly experiencing delays because the updated Siri isn’t ready yet.
