Apple is undertaking a thorough AI overhaul of Siri, planning to unveil the next-generation AI assistant at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference in June.

According to Bloomberg on Tuesday, sources reveal that Apple is testing an independent Siri application and a system-level "Ask Siri" feature. Both will serve as core components of the iOS 27 and macOS 27 operating systems, officially debuting at WWDC on June 8.

The new Siri, internally codenamed "Campo," will offer a chatbot-like conversational experience, supporting both text and voice interaction modes, and will be able to complete tasks directly within apps. This marks a major shift in Apple’s AI strategy.

The backdrop to this overhaul is stalled progress on Apple Intelligence. Siri features announced at the 2024 WWDC were never officially launched, and plans originally scheduled for spring 2025 have been repeatedly delayed. The release of the new Siri is seen as Apple’s critical counterattack under ongoing pressure from competitors like ChatGPT and Google Gemini.

Standalone Siri App: Competing with External AI Tools

Apple is testing a dedicated Siri app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, aiming to directly compete with third-party AI tools such as ChatGPT, while providing users with a unified entry point to manage conversation history.

The main interface of the app will display conversation history in a list or rounded-rectangle grid. Users can pin frequent conversations, save old records, search across conversations, and start new chats via a prominent plus button. The chat view is similar to Apple’s Messages app, featuring a bubble-style interface, a text input box, voice mode switching, and the ability to upload documents and images for analysis.

When initiating a new conversation, Siri will suggest prompts based on the user's usage history. The interface will automatically adapt to light and dark modes.

New Search Interface: Siri Replaces Spotlight

At the interaction entry level, Apple is testing replacing the current system search tool Spotlight with Siri, creating a unified search and Q&A interface.

One test plan places the Siri entry at the top of the screen in the Dynamic Island area. After activation, Siri will prompt users to "search or ask." While processing requests, the interface will show a pill indicator labeled "Searching" and a glowing Siri icon. Once results are ready, the interface expands into a semi-transparent panel using Apple’s Liquid Glass design language, allowing users to pull down for multi-round conversations.

The new search interface will retain the "Siri Suggestions" feature, but will support more user data types than the current iOS Spotlight and will activate the previously delayed "Personal Context" function. Additionally, Siri will provide more detailed answers from the web, including summaries, bullet points, and images, and can generate daily news digests using Apple News content, directly targeting AI search tools like Google Gemini and Perplexity.

Ask Siri & Write with Siri: Deep System Integration

Apple is also testing new system-level entry points for more deeply embedding Siri in the operating system.

A system-wide "Ask Siri" toggle will appear in the menus of built-in apps, allowing users to send selected content directly to new Siri conversations—for example, requesting more information about highlighted text or retrieving related emails. This design is similar to existing features in the ChatGPT iPhone app.

Meanwhile, the "Write with Siri" option at the top of the keyboard is also being tested, bringing up a Writing Tools menu for text generation and editing. This feature has been a core marketing point of Apple Intelligence for the past two years, but is currently somewhat hidden in iOS.

Delay Concerns & Gemini Collaboration

Although new features are highly anticipated, many announced upgrades still face uncertainty regarding their launch. According to Bloomberg, several people involved in the project believe that most announced features, including access to personal data and screen awareness, may not be ready until the fall.

On the technical side, many functions of the new Siri are powered by Apple’s self-developed Apple Foundation Models, enhanced with Google Gemini technology. According to previous Bloomberg reports, the two companies reached a cooperation agreement worth about one billion dollars last year, and formally confirmed it in January this year.

The expansion upgrade of App Intents is also ongoing. This will allow Siri to more accurately control specific functions of Apple’s own and third-party apps, and is planned to gradually support voice-operated actions like scrolling within app interfaces.
