According to Mark Gurman at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-01-21\/ios-27-apple-to-revamp-siri-as-built-in-iphone-mac-chatbot-to-fend-off-openai?srnd=phx-technology\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bloomberg<\/a>, Apple is developing its first chatbot with a version of Siri that will replace the existing experience. <\/p>\n<p>From Bloomberg\u2019s latest report, detailing a major directional shift for Apple\u2019s AI efforts:<\/p>\n<p>Apple Inc.\u00a0plans to revamp Siri later this year by turning the digital assistant into the company\u2019s first artificial intelligence chatbot, thrusting the iPhone maker into\u00a0a generative AI race\u00a0dominated by OpenAI and Google.<\/p>\n<p>The chatbot \u2014 code-named Campos \u2014 will be embedded deeply into the iPhone, iPad and Mac operating systems and replace the current Siri interface, according to people familiar with the plan. Users will be able to summon the new service the same way they open Siri now, by speaking the \u201cSiri\u201d command or holding down the side button on their iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n<p>The key distinction between Siri as it has existed since 2011 and this newly reported version is that it will adopt the chatbot style of interaction popularized by ChatGPT. <\/p>\n<p>The unannounced Siri overhaul will reportedly be revealed at WWDC in June as the flagship feature for iOS 27 and macOS 27. Its release is expected in September when Apple typically ships major software updates.<\/p>\n<p>While Apple plans to release an improved version of Siri and Apple Intelligence this spring, that version will use the existing Siri interface. The big difference is that <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/01\/12\/apple-confirms-googles-gemini-will-power-new-siri-features\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google\u2019s Gemini models<\/a> will power the intelligence. With the bigger update planned for iOS 27, the iOS 26 upgrade to Siri and Apple Intelligence sounds more like the first step to a long overdue modernization. <\/p>\n<p>Gurman reports that the major Siri overhaul will \u201callow users to search the web for information, create content, generate images, summarize information and analyze uploaded files\u201d while using \u201cpersonal data to complete tasks, being able to more easily locate specific files, songs, calendar events and text messages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apple doesn\u2019t grant existing chatbots this level of system access. Gurman shares additional details of how Apple\u2019s OS will integrate with the \u201cnew new\u201d Siri:<\/p>\n<p>More significantly, Siri will be integrated into all of the company\u2019s core apps, including ones for mail, music, podcasts, TV, Xcode programming software and photos. That will allow users to do much more with just their voice. For instance, they could ask Siri to find a photo based on a description of its contents and edit it with specific preferences \u2014 like cropping and color changes. Or a user could ask Siri within the email app to write a message to a friend about upcoming calendar plans.<\/p>\n<p>People are already familiar with conversational interactions with AI, and Bloomberg says the bigger update to Siri will be support both text and voice. Siri already uses these input methods, but there\u2019s no real continuity between sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Publicly, Apple has dismissed making a \u201cbolt-on chatbot on the side\u201d as an interface for Siri and Apple Intelligence. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>For that reason, today\u2019s report will likely be a relief for iPhone users disappointed at Apple\u2019s slow AI adoption. From Apple\u2019s perspective, the version of Siri that Gurman details delivers the chatbot without the bolted on the side part.<\/p>\n<p>You can read the report in full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-01-21\/ios-27-apple-to-revamp-siri-as-built-in-iphone-mac-chatbot-to-fend-off-openai?srnd=phx-technology\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5mac.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768338849_561_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768338849_421_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3LroSSb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1035230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769060534_264_750_150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"150\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple reportedly plans to make a major pivot with Siri in iOS 27.
