Apple is introducing a new update with iOS 27. The company is planning AI-driven improvements to Siri to make it smarter, more interactive, and integrated with the iPhone ecosystem.
According to Bloomberg, the upcoming iOS 27 will feature a separate app for Siri, which will allow users to have a chat experience with Siri, similar to ChatGPT. This will enable users to track their queries over a period of time, thus moving beyond voice commands for Siri.
Siri will obtain expanded access to system apps such as Messages, Notes, and Mail. The user can grant the required permissions in the main settings, allowing Siri to perform basic tasks in these apps, such as composing messages or managing emails. This integration changes Siri from a command-based assistant to a productivity tool.
A new “Ask Siri” option inside system apps lets users send specific content straight to Siri for quick, AI-powered help. The “Write with Siri” feature, built into the Apple keyboard, can generate text and edit it on the go. These tools are designed for people who want faster results while relying on smart, helpful suggestions.
Siri will also join the growing list of apps compatible with Apple’s Dynamic Island. This allows visual notifications and interactive responses without leaving the current app. The iOS update will enhance multitasking and provide a seamless experience.
According to reports, iOS 27 will support all devices from the iPhone 12 up to the iPhone 17 series, including the SE 3, 16e, and 17e models. However, to enjoy full AI capabilities, users need at least 8GB of RAM. This limits Siri’s full functionality to iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, and newer models. Some devices, like iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, will receive partial support.
A personal assistant driven by AI represents a new strategy for Apple. By integrating conversational AI, system app integration, and Dynamic Island updates, Siri is becoming a smarter and more productivity-focused assistant. Users with newer models are set to experience a smarter, more capable iPhone assistant.
