Apple is set to unveil iOS 27 during its WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, June 8, and new features coming to Siri, the Camera app, and the Photos app have leaked.
In what amounts to the biggest iOS 27 leak yet, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today shared renders of several new features, based on real information provided by sources within Apple. The images are essentially re-created screenshots.
The images provide a first look at the design of iOS 27's all-new Siri app, which will have ChatGPT-like chatbot functionality. You will be able to have back-and-forth conversations with a smarter and more personalized version of Siri, with the assistant set to gain on-screen awareness and understanding of your personal context.
As rumored, the Siri app has a dark interface by default. There is an "Ask Siri" field at the bottom for text prompts, a microphone icon for switching to voice mode, and a paperclip icon for attaching images and other files. There is also a page that displays past conversations, which can appear in a list or as bubbles on the screen.
The new Siri will be built into the Dynamic Island. The report said that iOS 27 will let you swipe down from the top center of the iPhone screen anywhere to launch a new "Search or Ask" interface. Or, you can continue to say "Siri" or hold down the iPhone's power button if you prefer to initiate a voice-based query.
"Search or Ask" results are displayed in a rich text card that pops out of the Dynamic Island, according to the report. For more detailed information, users can swipe down further to open a conversation inside the Siri app.
In addition, a Siri mode is coming to the Camera app, and new Apple Intelligence tools like "Reframe" and "Extend" will be added to the Photos app.
Given the revamped Siri is powered by Apple Intelligence, it is expected to be available on the iPhone 15 Pro and newer due to compatibility requirements.
Following beta testing, iOS 27 and the revamped Siri should be released in September.
