iOS 27 Getting Major Siri Redesign With Chat Interface and Dedicated App

This will be nice for controlling the iPhone functions but I'll continue to use Grok day to day for chat and information.
They can run into inconsistencies. Will I be able to use extensions to change Siri's voice to third-party ones like chatGPT or Anthropic (the EU sued them for it), but not use the Siri powered by Gemini because it's a local model? Can I use the chatGPT or Gemini app because it's cloud-based, but not Siri's?

Grok is the worst frontier model that's out.
This is going to change chatbots forever mark my words.
I had an mp3 player before the iPod and a smart phone before iPhone.
We are about to see history repeat itself!

I really hope you are right. Apple has missed the ball on more than a few occasions. Twice actually. I think the term is...3 strikes and you are out.

The changes Apple will make to AI this year and in the next 5 years (or more) will change the entire industry.

Is the swipe down to view notifications just something Apple doesn’t give a **** about? They’ve already messed that up on iPad OS (it is the number one reason I don’t use multitasking on the iPad with iPad OS 26). And now they’re going to mess it up in iOS too?!
I’m not opposed to a gesture to launch Siri search but PICK SOMETHING ELSE BESIDES HOW I VIEW NOTIFICATIONS. That is more important!
I already despise how the power button can’t be used easily to reboot my phone thanks to Siri. And now it looks like things are getting worse.

With all these changes, it does not look as if iOS 27 will be a small update. Will be great if Siri and Apple Intelligence gets these rumored features.
Hopefully Siri is finally more intelligent than Cookie Monster, with a better eye on privacy than Bert. While you are at it fix the rest of your failing apps like the Remote app. What an Oscar the Grouch dumpster fire.
Van down by the river Siri snaps back angrily.., then takes a few seconds to cool down and answers the question. Closing with the standard, “do you have any extra cigarettes?”

I really liked the glowing orb. It seemed really futuristic to me.

I think it's safe to say that Siri is a complete and utter failure. It is nowhere near any other AI platforms. Apple should just give up and integrate any AI to iOS by default.
Yeah…it’s not like the people from the future got burned by fake Apple promises in the past. Say it ain’t so Joe.

I will have a hard time believing it even after it ships...

Apple failed at LLM transformer models. Which is not the same as failing at AI. In April 2026 (recently) Apple held a presentation of ParaRNN which have significant advantages over transformer LLMs. Especially now that Apple demoed the parallel training of such models is possible. I wouldn't count them out just yet. ParaRNN performs MUCH better at many tasks and can be run locally lot less "expensively", in terms of resources.
