Apple Unveils Siri AI Overhaul and iOS 27 at WWDC 2026

Apple unveiled a revamped Siri at its WWDC 2026 developers conference, branding the change as the start of a “Siri AI era” and promising more natural, context‑aware, multi‑turn voice interactions and deeper HomeKit integration across its ecosystem.

Google’s Gemini model will be integrated into the new Siri, allowing the assistant to draw on Gemini’s large‑language capabilities and answer more complex queries, a detail highlighted in Chinese‑language coverage of the event.

iOS 27 was announced alongside Siri, featuring expanded AI toolkits for developers, tighter privacy controls, and a phased rollout beginning later in the year, according to multiple tech outlets covering the conference.

Developers received new APIs that let them embed generative‑AI functions directly into apps, while Apple reiterated its commitment to on‑device processing to keep user data private, a point stressed during the keynote.
