Apple Unveils AI‑Powered Siri and iOS 27 at WWDC 2026

Apple announced at WWDC 2026 that iOS 27 will ship with a new AI‑driven Siri, marking the first generative‑AI version of the voice assistant and extending AI features across the iPhone, iPad and Mac ecosystem.

Siri AI will run on‑device neural processors, allowing real‑time conversation, context retention across apps, and offline capabilities while cutting latency and keeping user data on the device, supporting multiple languages, according to the event brief.

Developers received new CoreML APIs for integrating large‑language‑model features into apps, and Apple highlighted privacy‑first design with strict sandboxing and encrypted storage to protect user information and provides on‑device inference speed improvements.

Consumers can expect redesigned widgets, expanded multitasking gestures, health sensor integration, new AR capabilities, and support for 5G‑only iPhone models, with iOS 27 slated for public release later this year.
