Siri has been the punchline of the AI conversation for years. While ChatGPT rewrote the rules, Google Gemini grew smarter by the month, and Samsung baked Galaxy AI into everything, Apple’s assistant kept mishearing requests and opening the wrong apps. That era is ending. Apple is preparing the most significant Siri overhaul in the assistant’s 15-year history and it’s coming to iOS 27 at WWDC on June 8.
The centerpiece is a standalone Siri app, codenamed “Campos” internally. It looks and works exactly like a modern AI chat app conversation history, pinned chats, file and photo uploads, voice and text toggle, suggested prompts based on your usage. Think ChatGPT’s interface wrapped in Apple’s design language. Past conversations appear in a grid of rounded previews. It’s Siri that should have existed two years ago.
The visual redesign is equally bold. Apple is testing Dynamic Island integration. A glowing Siri icon sits in the pill while processing, then expands into a translucent Liquid Glass panel to display results. It’s a genuinely fresh take on how an AI assistant surfaces on a phone screen, and it looks nothing like the bottom-of-screen glow users have been staring at since 2011.
System-wide, an “Ask Siri” button will appear in menus throughout every app highlight text, tap Ask Siri, get an answer instantly. The keyboard may also get a “Write with Siri” shortcut surfacing Writing Tools that most users never knew existed.
Under the hood, Google Gemini powers the backend under a reported $1 billion per year deal giving Siri the language model muscle it has always lacked. Siri will now summarize news, answer web questions, see what’s on your screen, and control apps by navigating their interfaces directly.
WWDC is on June 8. For the first time in years, the Siri keynote segment might actually be worth watching.
