Apple is poised to unveil a significantly upgraded Siri with the launch of iOS 27, scheduled for mid-September. This evolution will see Siri transform from a simple reactive assistant into an AI agent, adept at managing complex tasks and workflows independently.
The new Siri will be deeply integrated into the Dynamic Island, offering constant availability. Users can interact with it via voice commands or a new 'Search or Ask' interface, which also allows selecting external AI models like ChatGPT or Gemini for query processing.
