The report says that Apple is planning to make Siri an AI-powered chatbot

Apple’s long-awaited Siri revamp could turn the smart assistant into a chatbot akin to ChatGPT, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The Siri chatbot, which will be integrated into iOS 27, could be the focal point of Apple’s WWDC presentation in June, his sources say.

The Siri chatbot, codenamed “Campos,” will work with both voice and text inputs. Apple senior vice president Craig Federighi previously said he doesn’t want Siri to be a chatbot, but rather wants Apple’s AI options to be “integrated so they’re at hand when you need them.” But the game plan appears to have changed amid growing pressure from the success of other companies’ chatbots.

Apple may also sense a potential threat because OpenAI is planning to enter the hardware space, led by former Apple design chief Jony Ive.

It’s no secret that Apple has been lagging behind in the AI ​​race. The company has delayed its rollout of a “more personalized Siri” several times and has spent the past year shopping around for an AI partner, testing the technology of competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic for a potential deal. Ultimately, Apple chose Google’s Gemini as its AI partner, which the two tech giants confirmed earlier this month.
