Apple is betting big on artificial intelligence at WWDC 2026, with a completely redesigned Siri sitting at the center of the company’s refreshed AI strategy. The keynote, scheduled for June 8 at 10 a.m. PT, will mark what’s being described as the most significant evolution of Apple’s virtual assistant in years.
The five-day developer conference, running June 8 through 12, will also introduce iOS 27 and macOS 27. Both operating systems are expected to serve as the backbone for Apple’s expanded on-device AI capabilities.
Siri becomes a chatbot, and that changes everything
The new Siri is projected to debut as a standalone chatbot application, complete with a dedicated chat interface. The redesign will feature enhanced context awareness, meaning Siri should be better at understanding not just what you’re asking, but why you’re asking it.
Multitasking across multiple applications is another headline feature. Siri will reportedly be able to work across apps simultaneously.
