Apple’s long-awaited Siri overhaul, expected to arrive in iOS 27, might look a lot like ChatGPT with a splash of Liquid Glass. Renders from Bloomberg offer a preview of iOS 27, including the new app and chat interface for Siri. The renders are “based on information viewed by Bloomberg and people with knowledge of [Apple’s] plans,” and could differ from Apple’s final designs, which Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple will reveal at WWDC in June.
The images show a new pill-shaped Siri chat bubble popping out of the Dynamic Island with a drop down menu containing options for Ask, Siri, and ChatGPT. According to Gurman, you’ll be able to open this new chat bubble by swiping down from the center of the top edge of the display. It will reportedly work anywhere in iOS 27, similar to how Android users can start a Gemini chat by tapping and holding the home button, regardless of what app they’re in.
The new standalone Siri app shown in Bloomberg’s renders resembles ChatGPT’s chatbot layout, with a pill-shaped query box, buttons for adding attachments and activating voice mode, and chat history. Past chats will reportedly be viewable as a list or as a collection of rectangles, similar to how notes are laid out as blocks in Google Keep.
Bloomberg also offers a glimpse at Apple’s updated Camera app, which is rumored to include a new Siri mode and more customization options. The renders show a new menu of widgets for adding (or removing) controls in the Camera app, as well as a “Siri” option nestled between the “Photo” and “Portrait” modes. A similar AI “Tools” editing option also appears in Bloomberg’s render of the updated Photos app, which will reportedly include three new AI editing features, along with the current “Clean Up” option.
Apple is expected to show off its big Siri overhaul at WWDC, which kicks off on June 8th. The keynote presentation will also likely spotlight the next round of updates to Apple’s operating systems.
