WWDC 2026: Siri revamp, Apple Intelligence and iOS 27

WWDC 2026 kicks off today at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET and will be streamed live via the Apple Developer app, Apple’s website and the Apple YouTube channel. Major reveals are expected, including a redesign of Siri, new Apple Intelligence features and updates to iOS 27.

Apple is planning a major AI upgrade to Siri, aiming to make it more conversational, better at understanding context, able to handle multi-step tasks and to interact more naturally across apps and services. The revamped assistant will leverage Google’s Gemini technology and may appear as a standalone app to compete with advanced chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini; messages could offer automatic deletion after 30 days, a year, or indefinitely.

Plans also include an AI agent integration with the app store to let users delegate tasks like booking reservations, managing chores, editing documents and controlling smart home devices.
