Apple has started sending out invites for the WWDC 2026 keynote on June 8 and it could have some hints about the future of Siri. The image, seen above, is clearly Apple Park, but the glowing symbol and the taglines like “coming bright up” give a hint at a potential visual overhaul for Siri.
It’s two years late, but Siri 2.0 is finally supposed to arrive this year. Most rumors have hinted at Siri’s potential capabilities, but this little teaser suggests that Siri could also get a visual overhaul.

Notably, Apple and Google have already promised that Gemini-powered Siri will debut this year with iOS 27. Google could help turbocharge Siri by offering the same multimodal performance that can be found in other AI chatbots.
With Gemini Live already available on some of the best Android phones, we already have an idea of how Siri could perform. For instance, the Galaxy S26 got advanced task automation to perform complex actions like placing a Dunkin’ Donuts order through DoorDash via voice.

Since the rocky launch of Apple Intelligence in 2024, Apple has been scrambling to refine what already exists rather than introducing new features. Still, this is the system that’s supposed to undergird Siri, so new features are likely to be announced that would presumably integrate with Apple’s virtual assistant.
That could include AI-based photo editing tools and things like the Galaxy S26’s Now Nudge.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has previously said that Siri 2.0 will offer a more “chatbot-like experience” acting as more of an on-device agentic AI for your iPhone.
However, he’s also noted that Apple is making privacy a centerpiece of Siri, which would stand out from AI rivals like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
