Apple Plans Makeover, Likely to Turn ‘Siri’ Into AI Chatbot

Apple SIRI

New York: In a biggest makeover by Apple in a recent while, the tech giant is reportedly planning changes to its long-standing voice assistant, Siri, by transforming it into a full-fledged AI chatbot as part of the upcoming iOS 27 update later this year. The move is seen as Apple’s effort to catch up in the fast-moving generative AI space led by competitors like OpenAI and Google.

As per the recent reports, Apple is working on a new version of Siri, internally codenamed “Campos,” that will replace the current voice assistant interface with an advanced AI chatbot experience across iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices.

This new Siri is expected to support both voice and text interactions, allowing users to carry out longer, natural conversations rather than just short command-based requests.

The revamped assistant will be deeply embedded within Apple’s ecosystem, working across core apps such as Mail, Photos, Music, TV, and even development tools like Xcode. Users may soon be able to ask Siri to perform more complex tasks, from editing photos based on content to drafting emails using calendar details, all through conversational prompts.

The chatbot is expected to be a key highlight of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS 27, with the company previewing the feature at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, followed by a broader public rollout later in the year.

With iOS 27, Apple aims to introduce Siri that not only understands context better but can also search the web, generate content, analyse information, and interact more intelligently across apps.
