Apple is planning a major AI overhaul with iOS 27, but one feature stands out because it could change your everyday experience.

According to Bloomberg, the company is testing a version of Siri that could live across your entire iPhone, helping you inside apps, messages, and even system features.

The new Siri will essentially build on Apple’s own AI systems while leaning on Google’s Gemini to handle the heavy lifting, combining both to create a smarter, more capable assistant that feels closer to modern AI tools.

The updated Siri, internally called Campo, is being designed to handle real tasks. It can tap into your personal data like messages, notes, and emails, complete actions inside apps, access news, and even search the web using Apple’s own tools.

How Apple plans to put Siri inside everything you do

Apple is testing a system-wide “Ask Siri” option that appears across built-in apps. You can highlight text, tap the option, and instantly send it into a conversation with Siri.

This will make Siri more like a chatbot. Instead of asking generic questions, you will be able to have conversations based on what’s on your screen, just like ChatGPT.

Apple is also testing a “Write with Siri” option in the keyboard, making it easier to generate or edit text on the spot.

The assistant itself will be more conversational. Bloomberg says it will support back-and-forth interactions through both text and voice, marking a clear break from the current version that 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 your screen inside the Dynamic Island and prompt you to “Search or Ask.” The familiar glowing edges design may be replaced entirely.

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 will still be able to trigger Siri with your voice or the power button, but the experience will feel more unified. The Bloomberg report also says that Apple is working on a standalone Siri app and a redesigned interface.

The new AI-powered Siri is expected to debut at WWDC 2026 on June 8, with its features rolling out later as part of iOS 27 and macOS 27 in September or October.

However, Apple’s push to reinvent Siri is facing pressure, with reports suggesting delays to new products like the HomePod and Apple TV because its upgraded Siri is not ready yet.

Better quality, smaller file size, and no status bar. iOS 27's video frame feature beats screenshots on every count.

If you've ever been on vacation and chose to record video instead of taking photos only to avoid missing the fun moments, thinking you’d pause and take screenshots later, you might have ended up questioning your decision later. 

You see, the process involves multiple steps, starting from hunting for the right frame, pausing, and taking a screenshot. If it doesn’t look good, you go back to the video, pause somewhere else, and try taking another screenshot. You see where I’m going with this?
