Amid all the talk about Apple\u2019s long-delayed new Siri, the question of what the new AI personal assistant would look like has barely come up\u2014other than the rumor<\/a> claiming that on devices with Dynamic Islands, Siri\u2019s visual aspects will materialize within the Dynamic Island \u201cpill\u201d when first activated.<\/p>\n

But if the latest column from Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/a> is to be believed, there\u2019s a possibility that Apple may be giving Siri a makeover that could replace or at least add to its classic imagery reminiscent of\u00a0 Navi the fairy from Zelda <\/a>with a 90s Windows screensaver<\/a> happening inside her orb head.<\/p>\n

At least one part of Siri\u2019s new visual profile, Gurman says, will be the harsh, overexposed glow of the \u201c26\u201d in the teaser image for Apple\u2019s 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).<\/p>\n

Gurman says his anonymous sources with insider knowledge of Apple tell him a visual plan \u201ccurrently being tested\u201d is a significant revamp: a prompt inside the Dynamic Island Pill that says \u201cSearch or Ask,\u201d along with a cursor that glows like that \u201c26\u201d in the WWDC graphic above.<\/p>\n

Another image elsewhere on the Apple Developer site<\/a> advertising a \u201cspecial event at Apple Park\u201d to kick off WWDC on June 8 features the same glow around a pair of white, concentric rings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In photography terms, that overexposed, glowing blowout look is likely an imitation of something called halation. Halation around a white detail on a black background suggests such intense overexposure that some of the color distorts in the black\u2014sometimes producing blues and reds that bleed into the darker areas of the image.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Halation isn\u2019t necessarily a mistake. In fact, in iPhone photography, some people like halation a whole lot, and will even download expensive apps<\/a> to insert more of it into their photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amid all the talk about Apple\u2019s long-delayed new Siri, the question of what the new AI personal assistant…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":594465,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[182,517,181,507,229,42511,74,97163],"class_list":{"0":"post-594464","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-apple","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-siri","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-wwdc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
