It was the revamped and more intelligent Siri capable of \u201ccontextual awareness,\u201d a technical way to say the assistant could understand what was happening on your iPhone\u2019s screen and also pull information from across your apps so you didn\u2019t need to look for it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=258\">This Ultrasonic Knife Is More Than Just a Gimmick\u2014at Least Sometimes<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Apple promised the new Siri would launch in the fall alongside the iPhone 16 series. It never arrived.<\/p>\n<p>The company delayed the Siri reboot several times from that fall to spring. Then at WWDC 2025, Apple senior VP of software Craig Federighi finally admitted that work on the new Siri \u201cneeded more time to reach our high-quality bar\u201d and that \u201cwe look forward to sharing more in the coming year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To paper over its massive fumble, Apple rolled out Liquid Glass to all of its platforms. The strategy worked; besides the most vocal tech enthusiasts, most consumers forgot all about the new Siri. Apple\u2019s failure to launch the new assistant had next to no impact on iPhone or Apple device sales.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s been two whole years since it was announced, and Apple still hasn\u2019t released Siri 2.0, but that\u2019s supposedly finally, <em>finally\u00a0<\/em>happening this year. Needless to say, the WWDC 2026 spotlight will be on the assistant. How much of what was promised at WWDC 2025 will Apple deliver on thanks to its new Google Gemini brain?<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Finally, a Siri app<\/h2>\n<p>The new Siri will reportedly have a new look, according to Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman. Instead of the multicolored glow that surrounds the sides of your iPhone\u2019s screen when you press and hold the side button, Siri will have a \u201cdark-toned interface\u201d that matches the theme for this year\u2019s WWDC visuals and apparently pop out from the Dynamic Island.<\/p>\n<p>Gurman also says that Apple will introduce a Siri app, which could work similar to other chatbot apps. You\u2019ll be able to type in a prompt and view responses in a chat-style conversation. Past \u201cchats\u201d will be stored in the app. He also claims that Apple will open up Siri to third-party AI chatbots and let users choose between them for queries.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Another planned feature is reportedly on the \u201cagentic\u201d AI side, where you\u2019ll be able to perform multi-step tasks just with a voice command. Gurman also says that Siri will be integrated into the Camera app for Visual Intelligence, the computer vision feature that lets AI chatbots identify objects and information within photos.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure there will be much more to unpack on Siri. It sure sounds like Apple is betting it all in an attempt to prove it\u2019s not behind in the AI race.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=256\">OpenAI Announces Unnerving New ChatGPT Feature Named \u2018Lockdown Mode\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Tightening software nuts and bolts<\/h2>\n<p>All rumors and reports suggest that Apple\u2019s \u201c27\u201d software updates for all of its platforms will focus on improving performance, squashing bugs, and strengthening security.<\/p>\n<p>That makes sense since Liquid Glass debuted last year, so this time around Apple will reportedly focus on under-the-hood changes. Gurman reports some platforms could see longer battery life with the updates.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Any visual changes to Liquid Glass are expected to be subtle\u2014mostly refinements for increased contrast and legibility for transparent UI elements. Personally, I\u2019m hoping Apple will offer some kind of slider so that users can decide how much of the Liquid Glass effect they want on their devices.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t expect any major hardware<\/h2>\n<p>While Apple has announced hardware at WWDC before\u2014notable ones include the ill-fated trash can Mac Pro in 2013 and the follow-up cheese grater tower in 2019\u2014we\u2019re not expecting Apple to drop anything new.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The anticipated foldable iPhone isn\u2019t expected until the fall event in September alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. The Vision Pro is reportedly on ice, with Apple shifting its priorities to developing smart glasses\u2014pairs with and without screens\u2014for launch in 2027 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The MacBook Pro was refreshed last fall. The MacBook Air and iPad Air were updated in March, debuting with the category-defining MacBook Neo.<\/p>\n<p><em>If<\/em> there is any new hardware, it could be an update to the Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini. Gurman said both are \u201cready to go and just waiting on the new Siri.\u201d The devices would have an improved chip to support AI features. The Apple TV set-top box could get an \u201cupdated remote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=254\">The Leopard Is Eating David Sacks\u2019s Face<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple has to Siri-ously deliver on AI this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":259,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gadgets"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
