Apple is set to revamp its Siri voice assistant into a more advanced AI-powered chatbot, reportedly featuring capabilities that "significantly surpass" those of the existing AI personalization features. According to Bloomberg, the update, codenamed Campos, will be integrated directly into iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, allowing users to interact with Siri through both voice and text input.
The chatbot version of Siri will offer a more conversational interface, similar to those offered by Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other popular AI-powered assistants. This shift in approach marks a significant departure from the existing Siri interface, which has long relied on voice commands alone.
Apple's partnership with Google, which provides the custom Gemini AI model used in the updated version of Siri, is expected to play a key role in the development of these new capabilities. While the exact details of the update remain under wraps, Bloomberg reports that it will be launched during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, with a full rollout expected in September.
The chatbot-powered Siri is seen as a major step forward for Apple's voice assistant, offering users more flexibility and interactivity than ever before. However, critics may argue that the shift towards a more conversational interface could lead to increased complexity and potential errors – a trade-off that Apple will undoubtedly weigh carefully as it prepares to roll out this significant update to its users.
