Apple is preparing to reveal a completely overhauled version of Siri at its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 8, transforming its long-maligned virtual assistant into something that actually resembles a modern AI product. The redesign, arriving as part of iOS 27 and macOS 27, represents the company’s most ambitious attempt yet to close the gap with ChatGPT and other conversational AI tools.
The WWDC 2026 keynote kicks off at 10 a.m. PT, and the Siri overhaul is expected to be a centerpiece of the presentation.
What the new Siri actually looks like
The most visible change is structural. Apple has been testing a standalone Siri app, reported by Bloomberg as far back as March 2026, that ditches the familiar floating orb in favor of a chat-based interface. Think iMessage bubbles, but for talking to your phone’s AI.
The new design integrates with Dynamic Island, Apple’s pill-shaped notification area at the top of newer iPhones. This gives Siri a persistent, animated presence rather than the full-screen takeover that currently interrupts whatever you’re doing.
