The Morning After: Apple's dramatic Siri overhaul is coming and it might look like this The Morning After: Apple's dramatic Siri overhaul is coming and it might look like this WWDC is right around the corner. Apple is preparing to reintroduce the new Siri at WWDC 2026 -- and that's happening very soon. A report from offers an early preview of the update, with illustrations of what Apple's Gemini-powered AI agent will look like when it finally lands. The final version set to be introduced to the public in June could differ, s Mark Gurman added. Siri will soon live inside the iPhone's Dynamic Islandand, as before, you'll be able to wake the assistant by saying Siri or holding down your phone's power button.

Here's what Apple's Siri overhaul for iOS 27 could look like Here's what Apple's Siri overhaul for iOS 27 could look like Apple is reportedly redesigning the iPhone's interface around the new Siri. After nearly two years of delays and a $250 million settlement along the way, Apple is preparing to reintroduce the new Siri at WWDC 2026 . Mark Gurman has published an early preview of the update with illustrations that provide a glimpse of how Apple has redesigned the iPhone's interface to put the Gemini-powered AI agent front and center. The company often tests multiple designs of features internally, and the final version set to be introduced to the public in June could differ, Gurman warns, before stating Apple could release the new Siri as early as this September. As you can see from the illustrations shared, Siri will now live inside the iPhone's dynamic island.

You know things are bad when the Pope gets involved . No doubt reeling from a launch that somehow went down even worse than Ferrari itself anticipated, the Italian carmaker sought to get the endorsement of none other than His Holiness Pope Leo XIV for its first EV, the Luce. Guided by Ferrari chairman John Elkann and senior Ferrari executives, in a hillside town about 15 miles southeast of Rome, the pontiff sat in the driver's seat and listened patiently as test driver Raffaele De Simone explained the vehicle's controls and driving modes as if he really was speaking to a man clearly in the market for a 1,000-horsepower electric car capable of hitting 62 mph in 2.5 seconds. Meanwhile, as Pope Leo was no doubt pondering how the Luce could boast one of the largest batteries in any production EV yet still only manage a maximum 329 miles, or how an accelerometer on the rear axle somehow worked like a guitar pickup to create in-cabin sound like an "instrument," the market was speaking.

Apple's new Siri app will reportedly offer auto-deleting chat options Apple's new Siri app will reportedly offer auto-deleting chat options Apple might have a secret weapon for its revamped Siri that could help it compete against other AI chatbots. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple will introduce a feature that automatically deletes chats, as seen in its Messages app, to the updated Siri. According to Gurman, users will get a Siri setting that toggles between saving chatlogs for 30 days, a year or forever. Gurman added that Apple will also offer an option of whether Siri launches with the context of its previous conversation or starts a completely new chat. However, automatically deleting chatlogs comes with a serious downside. Most LLMs prefer swallowing up as much personal data from chats as possible to enhance its capabilities and better tailor its future responses.

Apple is on Google's side when it comes the latter's criticisms against the European Union's proposals which would give third-party AI services the same level of access to Android that Gemini has. The European Commission has been taking steps to ensure that Google complies with the rules of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). In January, it told the company that it has to give external AI assistants the same access to Android its own technology has and to hand over anonymized ranking, query, click and view data held by Google Search to rival search engines. The aim, the commission said, was to give third-party providers an an equal opportunity to innovate and compete in the rapidly evolving AI landscape on smart mobile devices. It explained that opening up Android would keep the AI market open and promote innovation in the field.

Artificial intelligence has posed a multi-layered problem for Apple in recent years. We're expecting to hear some big news at WWDC this year about how AI will be integrated into the company's gadgets, but there are still other wrinkles still to be ironed out in its broader approach to the use of this influential technology. According to, one of those challenges is the recent interest and development of agentic AI. To date, Apple has not permitted vibe coding tools on the App Store because they would violate its policies. They could also potentially be used to create original apps for people who would have otherwise gotten software from the App Store, which could pose a threat to Apple's revenue as well as creating a loophole for spreading malware or taking other malicious actions. But applying that same block more broadly to any agentic AI services, which can take active control over a device and its programs, could keep Apple out of the loop as those tools are generating a lot of interest among both developers and casual users.

Apple agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging it misled customers about Siri and Apple Intelligence features on iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro models.

The new camera options will join the other features Apple will reportedly highlight at WWDC 2026: performance improvements and AI . The biggest change Apple is making to the Camera app is to make it more customizable. Rather than being stuck with the company's predetermined interface for shooting photos and capturing videos, you'll reportedly be able to tweak it to your liking. The app will reportedly also include more advanced options like controls for depth-of-field, exposure and the company's photo styles feature. Apple offers a theoretically easy way to tweak these settings on the iPhone by using the Camera Control button, but changing things from the touchscreen should be even easier.

There's a deep, forbidding moat that surrounds Nvidia--and it has nothing to do with hardware. Forgive me for starting with a cliché, a piece of finance jargon that has recently slipped into the tech lexicon, but I'm afraid I must talk about "moats." Popularized decades ago by Warren Buffett to refer to a company's competitive advantage, the word found its way into Silicon Valley pitch decks when a memo purportedly leaked from Google, titled "We Have No Moat, and Neither Does OpenAI," fretted that open-source AI would pillage Big Tech's castle. A few years on, the castle walls remain safe. Apart from a brief bout of panic when DeepSeek first appeared, open-source AI models have not vastly outperformed proprietary models.

Well, it seems like those-rumored AirPods with cameras are close to being real, according to the latest report from Mark Gurman . The new earbuds are said to use low-resolution cameras on their stalks to capture low-resolution imagery, which will ultimately be fed to Apple's long-delayed AI Siri assistant. And the more I hear about them, the more they sound like Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, just without the ability to take clear photos and videos. The camera-equipped Airpods are reportedly in Apple's design validation testing (DVT) stage, where workers are using prototypes to test their capabilities. There's no word on when we may actually see them, but according to Gurman they were initially slated to debut as early as the first half of 2026, only to be pushed back by AI Siri delays.
