On Monday, June 8, Apple will unveil iOS 27, which is widely rumored to include the revamped AI-powered Siri built on Google’s Gemini models. This has been a long time coming, with the company first announcing an AI-enhanced Siri back in June of 2024. That feature has seen delay after delay, but it’s now finally (almost) here.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the new Siri will be labeled as a beta at first, and will require you to join a waitlist in order to try it. It’s unclear whether this waitlist will only apply during the iOS 27 beta period, or may extend even after iOS 27 launches for everyone in September.
If you’re hoping to be among the first people to try the revamped Siri, you’ll have to wait until Apple gets to your spot on the waitlist. The new Siri will be a full-fledged chatbot similar to Gemini and ChatGPT, and it will be integrated across all of Apple’s operating systems, unsurprisingly. Gurman says Siri chats will sync across Apple devices via iCloud. You’ll be able to set Siri to forget your history every month, every year, or never.
