If you've spent the last few years quietly whispering "just work, please" every time you accidentally triggered Siri, good news: Apple might finally be doing something about it. And based on new renders published by Bloomberg, the plan seems to be... making it look like ChatGPT. Bold strategy.
A pill-shaped glow-up
The renders - described as being "based on information viewed by Bloomberg and people with knowledge of Apple's plans" - show a redesigned Siri featuring a new pill-shaped chat bubble interface. Think less "glowing ring around your phone screen" and more "actual conversation UI that a person might want to use." Revolutionary stuff, really.
Apple's signature Liquid Glass aesthetic is reportedly in the mix too, because apparently every single thing Apple touches in 2025 needs to look like it was designed inside a lava lamp. To be fair, it does look sleek.
This is basically Apple admitting ChatGPT won
Let's not dance around it: a chat-based interface for an AI assistant is exactly what OpenAI, Google, and pretty much every other tech company have been shipping for the past couple of years. Apple, which has historically treated Siri like a feature rather than a product, seems to have finally gotten the memo that people actually want to type (or talk) to their AI and get a coherent response back.
The timing makes sense. Apple has faced significant criticism for falling behind in the AI race, and iOS 26's Apple Intelligence rollout was... let's say "underwhelming" in the "Siri still can't set two timers" sense.
Don't get too excited yet
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman - the man who has accurately predicted more Apple products than most Apple employees - notes that these renders could differ from Apple's final designs. The official reveal is expected at WWDC in June, so we're not far from finding out what Siri actually becomes.
But if these renders are even half-accurate, iOS 27 could be the update where Siri stops being the butt of every tech joke and starts being genuinely useful. That's a low bar, sure, but it's a bar nonetheless.
WWDC is in June. Mark your calendars, charge your Apple devices, and maybe - just maybe - start getting your hopes up. A little bit.
