iOS 27: New Siri Features Could Be Gated Behind a Waitlist
Apple is expected to show a deeper Siri overhaul and a performance-focused iOS 27 update as it prepares for a leadership transition.
- Apple will host the WWDC Special Event at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, on Monday at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, focusing on the new AI-powered Siri and iOS 27 updates.
- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple is positioning the new software as a "Snow Leopard" moment, focusing on performance and fixing bugs rather than adding new features following user grievances.
- The new AI-powered Siri will debut as a standalone app powered by Google Gemini, with users able to sync conversations across devices via iCloud and auto-delete chats in Settings after 30 days.
- Despite anticipation, Gurman notes Apple may label the revamped assistant a "beta" and "preview," suggesting it won't be marketed as finished software when it arrives later this year.
- This event marks the final WWDC of the Tim Cook era, with John Ternus expected to gain visibility before assuming the CEO role in September, while rumors persist of HomePod mini previews.
