iOS 27 Siri Redesign Will Use Dark Color Scheme, Matching Apple's WWDC Art

[MacRumors]

Apple is redesigning Siri for iOS 27 to accommodate new artificial intelligence features and chatbot capabilities. Siri is getting a dedicated app, integration with the iPhone's Dynamic Island, and a new design scheme.

The graphics that Apple is using to promote WWDC hint at its design plans for Siri, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In this week's Power On newsletter, Gurman said the logo Apple uses for its WWDC website features the same colors it will use for Siri animations and input fields in iOS 27.

Apple's WWDC site features the Swift bird logo in white on a black background, with subtle highlights in pink, dark blue, purple, and orange. The colors are reminiscent of the current Siri animation that surrounds the iPhone's display when Siri is activated, but the shades are softer and not as saturated.

The Siri interface that Apple is testing uses all dark colors with no light mode available for now. Several of the new Siri UI elements will have a dark background with a cursor that blinks in those same colors.

Apple is creating a dedicated app for Siri for ongoing chatbot-style conversations, and it'll look similar to existing chatbot apps but with a Messages-style aesthetic. When Siri is activated, there will be a pill-shaped animation in the Dynamic Island and a glowing "searching" label while Siri is answering a query. Results are displayed in a translucent panel, and pulling down on the panel will initiate a conversation interface.

Swiping down from the top center of the display will activate a system-wide search interface with a Search or Ask bar for typing or speaking questions to Siri.

Apple plans to entirely overhaul Siri, and the personal assistant will be able to do far more than before. Apple has licensed Google's Gemini models to power Siri after its own AI models proved inadequate. With Gemini as Siri's backbone, Apple should be able to match many of the AI features that Google offers.

iOS 27 will be introduced at the WWDC 2026 keynote on June 8.

I like the way we still haven't had the "new Siri" that was supposed to go with the current redesign we have...

 

[AppleTO]

I’m wondering if all of us with non Apple Intelligence phones will receive this new Siri app, or are we just stuck with the old style (pre what AI has now)?

 

[yeah]

Just fix the bugs! 🫩

 

[Nik]

A privacy focused on-device AI akin to ChatGPT / Claude would be killer.

 

[iDento]

I like what they’re doing, but they have to ship exactly what they announce, or trust would be lost forever.

 

[gummybear2026]

Very weak developer conference 2026 that nobody is excited about.

Wheres my liquid ass Apple

 

[red elma]

I’m looking forward to the event, even if  only delivers 80% of the rumored Siri features!...

 

[Billy_Bob]

The new Siri is for the birds? 🤷‍♂️

 

[p96]

Ugh, why? Are they going to use dark mode to signify unreliable answers or something?

Fr, good thing it’s the last event of Tim the cooked because he needs to leave and things need to change !

 

[MysteriousStain]

My phone has been on permanent dark mode since the feature was introduced, I’m ok with that part

 

[avanpelt]

2024: An all-new, colorful animation to showcase an all-new Siri experience that’s powered by Apple Intelligence.

2026: We really mean it this time.

Seriously, I couldn’t care less about how the screen lights up. I just hope the damn thing actually works reliably in iOS 27.

 

[antonrg]

I hope it works properly, without clogging up the OS and can actually be useful.

Turning my lights on and off is one of the few things thing Siri does extremely reliably on my end. 🤷‍♂️

 

[CrabQueenInc]

Swift is apparently not being relegated to the rubbish bin yet. Sad.

Not sure why people are disliking your comment. This is exactly how I’d imagine the new Siri chatbot app to look, though with the Liquid Glass mixed in there too.

Hopefully this will go down as the final of many times they said they were improving Siri and only wound up giving it a new look.

They always got away with it before because it wasn't costing them money to not care. Now that they finally got called on it, they have to burn this current "new" look since they totally ruined it.

 

[CarAnalogy]

I’m wondering if all of us with non Apple Intelligence phones will receive this new Siri app, or are we just stuck with the old style (pre what AI has now)?

Stuck with the old one. Apple has done this too many times.

Even though they never actually delivered it, they already drew the line on hardware support. And ironically two years later they may even get away with it even more.

 

[Etc_]

Looking forward to iOS 27, codenamed 'AI slop', which is going to be completely vibe-coded with Claude (as seen in a file in the Apple Support app, which was updated incredibly fast to fix it).

 

[enjoi52]

You can’t truly be wondering this. The Siri updates are supposed to be in line with Apple Intelligence offers. Even if it COULD run on old hardware (it probably could), Apple is hardly incentivized to build it that way. If older hardware that is not Apple Intelligence capable gets the planned changes to Siri, I’ll be a monkeys uncle.

That’s pretty much what this will be. Looking forward to seeing it.

 

[Kidseeghost]

We got more Siri redesigns than new and improved Siris. The time for redesigning and marking bs is over. Its time to deliver or Siri will be dead this time.
