Apple has announced that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will be held from June 8 to June 12. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the WWDC 2026 teaser has already revealed the first look at Siri’s new design. In his weekly PowerOn news letter, Gurman says that the new Siri design will feature visual elements that resemble the glow effect seen in the WWDC26 poster art, particularly when the device will be used in dark. “Siri’s new look is what Apple is highlighting in its teaser. The design currently being tested within the company includes a Siri interface that sits within the Dynamic Island, the pill-shaped element near the top of the screen. When Siri is triggered, the Island expands with a prompt that reads “Search or Ask,” accompanied by a glowing cursor. It looks similar to how the “26″ is highlighted in the conference’s logo,” he writes in the newsletter.
Siri in iOS 27 to get AI upgrades
Additionally, Siri in iOS 27 is expected to come with upgrades that will make it more aligned with AI chatbots. According to reports, iPhone users will be able to have an ongoing back-and-forth conversation, make multiple requests in a single utterance, as well as deliver the previously-promised integration of personal context and onscreen awareness. The new version of Siri will be powered by Google Gemini technology. Further, Apple is rumored to bring a separate Siri app where users can find their previous conversations.
What to expect from iOS 27
On the software side, WWDC26 will preview the “27” generation of Apple’s operating systems—iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27. iOS 27 is shaping up to be a Snow Leopard-style release: heavy on stability, lighter on splashy features. Apple engineers are reportedly rewriting chunks of the OS to squash bugs and improve battery life, even on older iPhones.On the Mac side, macOS 27 will drop support for Intel-based Macs entirely, making Apple Silicon a hard requirement going forward. Rosetta 2, however, sticks around for one more cycle.
