Apple's Siri is about to undergo a massive redesign, and Bloomberg has images showing us what that might look like. The images, shared by Bloomberg on Thursday, aren't leaks; instead, they're unofficial renders and illustrations created by Bloomberg, based on information viewed by folks at the outlet and by people reportedly with knowledge of Apple's plans.

First, some context. As we've previously written, Apple is working on an AI-infused version of Siri that will be much smarter (think ChatGPT-style) than before and will come with a standalone app for the first time. None of this is official, but we've seen numerous reports that this is the case, and Apple itself is teasing big Siri-related changes for its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which kicks off on June 8.

Now, thanks to Bloomberg's renders, we can get an idea of what this actually might look like. Siri will mostly live inside the iPhone's Dynamic Island, which will expand with a special animation if you invoke Siri with voice or with a long press of the iPhone's power button. The other way to invoke Siri will be to pull down from the top center of the iPhone's display, which will show a new "Search or Ask" interface. From here, you'll be able to perform various tasks with Siri's help, including launching apps, starting text messages, and adding calendar appointments, but also search the web with AI's help, and ask various questions. You'll get the results as text cards that "pop up" from the Dynamic Island. Swipe down further, and you'll open a conversation with Siri, as you would with any AI chatbot.
