Apple to turn Siri into a full-fledged chatbot with iOS 27, report claims | Infinium-tech

After confirming that Google’s Gemini will power the upcoming revamp of Siri, a new report claims that Apple will introduce a chatbot-style version of the assistant with its next major software update.

A Bloomberg report claims that Apple is working on a new Siri chatbot, internally codenamed Campus, which will arrive with iOS 27, macOS 27, and iPadOS 27 and will replace the existing Siri.

The report states that the Siri chatbot will function as a standalone app built into Apple devices. It will support natural language conversations, similar to ChatGPT and Gemini, and can be initiated by using the “Siri” wake word or by pressing the side button on iPhone and iPad.

It will be powered by a custom model based on Google’s Gemini. The chatbot will reportedly be able to perform web searches, answer questions, draw images, summarize text, analyze uploaded documents and on-screen content, control device settings, and access personal data for select tasks.

Additionally, the report states that the Siri chatbot will be deeply integrated into all of Apple’s apps, allowing it to access in-app content to take actions. It will support both voice and text-based interactions, although it may lack the persistent memory features found in some rival chatbots.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is expected to unveil the new Siri chatbot at WWDC 2026.
