Following confirmation that Google’s Gemini will power Siri’s upcoming revamp, a new report claims Apple will introduce a chatbot-style version of the assistant with its next major software updates.
A Bloomberg report claims Apple is working on a new Siri chatbot, internally codenamed Campos, that will roll out with iOS 27, macOS 27, and iPadOS 27 and replace the existing Siri.
The report states that the Siri chatbot will function as a standalone app built into Apple devices. It will support natural language conversations similar to ChatGPT and Gemini, and can be invoked using the “Siri” wake word or by holding the side button on the iPhone and iPad.
It will be powered by a custom model based on Google’s Gemini. The chatbot will reportedly be capable of performing web searches, answering queries, generating images, summarizing text, analyzing uploaded documents and on-screen content, controlling device settings, and using personal data for select tasks.
Further, the report adds that the Siri chatbot will be deeply integrated across Apple’s apps, allowing it to access in-app content to perform actions. It will support both voice and text-based interactions, although it may lack the persistent memory features found in some rival chatbots.
According to Bloomberg, Apple is expected to unveil the new Siri chatbot at WWDC 2026.
