Apple's AI Overhaul: Siri Gets Major Upgrade
25 Mar
Summary
- Apple is reportedly testing a standalone Siri app.
- A new interface and 'Ask Siri' button are planned.
- The revamp is expected with iOS 27 later this year.
Apple is reportedly testing a major transformation for its Siri voice assistant, which could be one of the most substantial changes since its launch over a decade ago. Plans include a standalone Siri application, a redesigned user interface, and a new "Ask Siri" button aimed at increasing visibility and utility across Apple devices.
This initiative is part of a broader artificial intelligence reboot for the company. The revamped Siri experience is expected to be introduced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 8 and will likely be integrated into iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and MacOS 27, scheduled for release later this year. The new Siri aims to function more like a standalone AI chatbot, similar to ChatGPT or Claude, moving away from its current role as a built-in tool.
This development follows earlier reports from January indicating Apple's intention to evolve Siri into a sophisticated AI chatbot to better compete with rivals like OpenAI and Google. The move represents another attempt by Apple to enhance its AI strategy, following previous delays in bringing more advanced Siri features to users. While Apple has not officially announced these features, plans could change before the upcoming developer conference.
