Gurman: iOS 27 is coming with standalone Siri app, updated AI writing tools and Shortcuts | Infinium-tech
Ahead of WWDC 2026, which is now confirmed to start on June 8, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has shared a number of details about the upcoming iOS and iPadOS 27 updates, including its standalone Siri app. It is described as a ChatGPT and cloud-style chatbot app that acts as a one-stop shop for a wide range of tasks. The app will include past user conversations and is reportedly positioned to be ad-free and offer auto-delete chats.
Gurman also detailed Apple’s longtime focus on user privacy, which forced the company to delay its AI assistant as it aims to handle user data on its own servers. The new Siri will reportedly be based on the Apple foundation model, but Google Gemini will play a heavy role in it. This also means that user data protection for more demanding AI tasks will be handled by Google.
Elsewhere, iOS 27 is expected to bring new system-wide AI authoring tools, which will be more capable than the currently available Apple Intelligence options. Apple is apparently testing a “Write with Siri” toggle at the top of the keyboard, which will give suggestions and grammar checking capabilities.
Users will have the option to approve or ignore typing changes and navigate between flagged text selections. Apple is also bringing a “Help Me Write” option when Siri is activated inside an open text field.
Apple is also working on system-wide shortcuts using natural language, new AI wallpaper generation, and several editing tools inside the Photos app. Shortcuts are also being tweaked with the ability to create actions from user gestures.
