Apple is preparing one of the biggest changes to Siri in many years. According to new leaks, the voice assistant is set to undergo a massive overhaul along with iOS 27, but despite delays, Apple reportedly still plans to label the new Siri as a beta feature.
Apple is reportedly rebuilding Siri from the ground up
According to information from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, Apple is working on a more advanced version of Siri that resembles modern AI chatbots. The assistant is set to conduct conversations better, remember context, and offer deeper integration with applications and the iPhone system. Leaks also suggest a new interface that resembles a messaging app and integration with Dynamic Island. Apple is also considering a separate Siri application that operates more like contemporary AI platforms such as OpenAI or Google Gemini.
Siri may still operate as a beta feature
However, the most interesting thing is that internal versions of iOS 27 reportedly still label the new Siri as "beta." Users are even expected to get the option to opt out of the Siri beta program directly in the system settings. Apple has previously implemented a similar solution. The original Siri debuted as a beta after its launch in 2011, and the label was only removed two years later. This time, the company may want to protect itself from issues related to AI errors, hallucinations, and unfinished features.
Apple is significantly late in the AI race
The revamped Siri was originally supposed to launch much earlier as part of Apple's Intelligence strategy. However, according to reports, the project has experienced delays of up to two years. During this time, competitors like ChatGPT and Gemini have greatly enhanced their conversational capabilities and integrations with everyday services. As a result, more and more users consider Siri to be clearly outdated compared to modern AI assistants.
However, Apple still wants to heavily focus on privacy and more controlled implementation of artificial intelligence features. Leaks have surfaced about additional privacy safeguards and options for automatically deleting conversation history with Siri.
Apple is preparing a huge overhaul of Siri in iOS 27, but the new assistant may still operate as a beta feature. The company wants to catch up in the AI world while also opting for a more cautious rollout of new technologies.
