Apple may be preparing one of the biggest visual and behavioral changes Siri has seen in years. According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is reworking iOS 27 Siri so it feels less like a basic voice trigger and more like a full AI secretary built around ongoing back-and-forth interaction.
Gurman had already said earlier this month that Apple planned to rebuild Siri inside iOS 27, reportedly under the internal codename Rave. That earlier claim suggested Apple wanted to turn Siri into a standalone app experience with chatbot-style interaction that also ties more closely into Dynamic Island. In this latest update, he adds more detail about what that redesigned interface may actually look like.
The report says Apple has already hinted at the new visual language in its WWDC 2026 promotional artwork. The Swift logo on Apple’s developer site uses a black background with white elements and accents of pink, dark blue, purple, and orange. The new Siri redesign is said to follow a similar direction, though with softer color treatment and lower saturation.
For now, the leaked design reportedly focuses on a dark-only presentation, with no light mode currently expected. Some interface elements are said to use deep backgrounds paired with colorful blinking cursor effects, pushing Siri closer to the feel of a modern chat app rather than a one-shot assistant overlay.
That shift matters because the core interaction is also changing. Instead of treating each request like a separate command, Apple is reportedly building Siri around ongoing conversations. The dedicated app is described as looking broadly similar to existing messaging tools, while still borrowing styling cues from Apple’s own Messages app.
When users call up Siri, Dynamic Island may display a pill-shaped animation. While Siri is answering, the system is also said to show a glowing “searching” label. Results would appear inside a translucent panel, and pulling that panel downward could drop users directly into the longer conversation view so they can continue asking follow-up questions without starting over.
Apple is also reportedly testing a system-level search entry point to make that workflow feel more natural. By swiping down from the top center of the screen, users could reach a universal search interface with a “Search or Ask” field that supports both typed input and spoken questions. In other words, Apple may be trying to blur the line between search, assistant, and chatbot in a much more visible way than before.
If this leak proves accurate, the redesign would represent more than a cosmetic refresh. It would show Apple repositioning Siri around persistent context, richer text-first use, and a more native AI conversation model. Nothing is official yet, but the reported direction lines up with the broader industry move away from simple voice assistants and toward more capable assistant-chat hybrids.
