- Apple is preparing a major Siri overhaul and iOS 27 changes ahead of the WWDC keynote on June 8, based on leaked illustrations reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
- The redesigned Siri features a new UI and chatbot-style app, representing Apple's attempt to stage a comeback in digital assistants and AI after two years of delays.
- The Siri architecture reportedly runs on Google Gemini, with a dropdown menu allowing users to pick ChatGPT or Claude instead, per X commentary citing the Bloomberg report.
- iOS 27 will also include revamped Photos, Screenshots, and a Pro Camera app with new AI features, including a Dynamic Island takeover.
- Coverage from AppleInsider, The Verge, Engadget, TechCrunch, Macworld, MacRumors, 9to5Mac, PhoneArena, and 10+ other outlets all report on the same leak, with Implicator.ai highlighting that Gemini distillation shapes the AI push.
Why it matters: Apple is staging a major AI comeback with a redesigned Siri after years of delays, but the architecture reportedly runs on Google Gemini rather than Apple's own models, with users accessing ChatGPT and Claude through a dropdown menu. Apple's most visible AI feature on iPhones still depends on third-party providers.
