Just before WWDC, concrete images of the revamped Siri interface have surfaced for the first time. They show a voice assistant residing in the Dynamic Island, a dedicated chatbot app, and a camera app that will be customizable. With just days until June 8th, the picture of Apple's biggest software overhaul in years is becoming increasingly clear.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just over a week before the keynote on June 8th, a new report provides the most vivid impression yet of how Apple plans to revamp Siri in iOS 27. Instead of simply describing the planned features, the report now circulates sketched renderings of the interface \u2013 from its integration into Dynamic Island to a standalone chatbot app and camera integration. Much of this aligns with what was already known about the completely redesigned Siri with its own app and system-wide search gesture<\/a>, but the illustrations give it a concrete form for the first time. The images themselves are not from Apple but were created based on internal information from Bloomberg<\/a> \u2013 accordingly, the usual caveat applies to all details: Apple is internally testing several variations, and the final version may differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siri moves to Dynamic Island<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The central element of the redesign is the relocation of Siri to the Dynamic Island. In the future, there will be two ways to activate the assistant. The first remains classic: speaking "Siri" or holding the side button triggers a revised Siri animation in the Dynamic Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second approach is new and designed system-wide. From the top center of the screen, an interface called "Search or Ask" can be pulled down from anywhere in iOS 27. This allows users to perform tasks via text input or initiate searches, while voice control remains an option. The interface also displays Siri suggestions, web searches, and other content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This change has a direct consequence for a familiar gesture: In iOS 27, the notification control center will only be accessible by swiping from the top left corner, because the center is reserved for "Search or Ask".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the "Search or Ask" interface is supposed to do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new input area is designed as a central hub for everyday tasks. According to Bloomberg, it will allow users to open apps, start text messages, check the weather, create calendar entries, search notes, and trigger shortcuts within apps. It will also include web search functionality powered by Apple's new AI-driven search system, which directly competes with services like Perplexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the information, the results appear in a designed text card that folds out from the Dynamic Island. Swiping further down leads to a chatbot-like conversation within the Siri app \u2013 the transition from a quick query to a longer dialogue is intended to be seamless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dedicated chatbot app for Siri<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to system integration, Siri will receive a standalone app, strongly reminiscent of familiar chatbots in its design. Visually and functionally, it will thus occupy the same territory as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The content goes beyond simple text answers. When users ask questions, Siri will display curated maps and results related to topics such as people, places, or current headlines. Similar maps are planned for weather forecasts and sports scores, as well as for results derived from users' own data \u2013 including notes, messages, emails, contacts, calendar events, and reminders. This increasingly integrates the assistant with a personalized search function using the user's own content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Door for external AI agents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One particularly interesting detail extends beyond Apple's own assistant: the company is reportedly working internally to open iOS 27 to third-party AI agents that can be installed via the App Store. In addition to the existing partnership with OpenAI's ChatGPT, integrations with Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude are said to have already been tested internally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, the \"Search or Ask\" interface will allow users to directly forward queries to an external AI service. According to the report, a button will be provided that opens a drop-down menu with the available external agents. The possibility of Apple allowing users to choose their AI model in the future was already discussed when the option to select between Gemini, Claude, and other providers<\/a> was mentioned. The menu solution now described would translate this idea into a concrete user interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camera app will be freely configurable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Siri, the report also reveals changes to the camera app. It will reportedly become customizable in iOS 27 and will receive a new panel called \"Add Widgets,\" allowing users to pin specific tools and controls. This would enable users to prioritize the functions that are most important to them, instead of navigating through a rigid interface. Apple's intention to make the camera app freely customizable<\/a> was already apparent, and these new features further reinforce that idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, there are illustrations of a new, AI-powered grammar checker and photo editing options such as \"Extend\" and \"Reframe.\" Several new AI features are also rumored for the Photos app<\/a>, meaning the focus on AI extends across multiple system areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this leak is more than just a taste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some of the individual functions had already leaked \u2013 the value of this report lies in the fact that it provides a coherent picture for the first time. In iOS 27, Siri would no longer be a standalone assistant that responds to voice commands, but rather a system-wide layer of search, actions, and dialogue capabilities, anchored in the Dynamic Island and expanding into a fully-fledged chatbot app when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening up to external agents would further sharpen this strategy: Apple provides the framework but leaves the choice of AI model to the user. The role of AI choice in Apple's overall strategy can be seen in the fundamental approach surrounding Siri<\/a> \u2013 the menu button described here would be the most visible implementation of this approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing has been confirmed yet. Apple regularly tests several design variations internally, and the version shown on June 8th may differ from the current renderings. The overview of expectations, rumors, and hardware hopes for WWDC 2026<\/a> will help determine which of these components actually make it to the stage. At that point, we'll see how close this preview is to reality. (Image: Shutterstock \/ DANIEL CONSTANTE)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
