Apple plans to unveil iOS 27 on June 8, and the update promises a dramatically upgraded Siri that runs on Google’s Gemini models. The AI‑enhanced assistant was first hinted at in June 2024, but repeated postponements have delayed its rollout. This version will debut as a beta, shifting Siri from a voice command tool to a full‑blown chatbot for all supported iPhones.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says access will be gated by a waitlist, with users needing to sign up before they can test the new features. It remains unclear whether the list will close after the iOS 27 beta phase or stay open through the September public launch, and may need Apple ID verification. Early adopters will see Siri conversations sync across all Apple devices via iCloud.

The revamped Siri will mirror capabilities of Gemini and ChatGPT, letting users ask complex queries and receive conversational replies. Privacy settings let you purge history every 30 days, yearly, or never, giving control over data retention. By embedding a true chatbot into iOS 27, Apple aims to keep its ecosystem competitive as rivals push AI assistants deeper into daily workflows across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
