Apple previewed a redesigned Siri AI and a standalone Siri app at WWDC26, rolling the assistant into iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 Golden Gate, per Apple’s June 8 press release and subsequent coverage. Apple says the new assistant can reference on-screen content, draw on personal context across apps, and fetch up-to-date web information, according to the press release. Multiple outlets, including Yahoo Tech and iDownloadBlog, report the assistant is built on Google’s Gemini foundation model. VentureBeat and other coverage note new developer frameworks, App Entities, App Intents, App Schemas, and View Annotations, to expose app content and actions to Siri AI. CNN reports a public beta is planned for later this year, with general availability expected with the fall OS releases.
