iOS 27: Siri gets a ChatGPT-style chat interface and pops out of the Dynamic Island

Siri in iOS 27 is getting the biggest redesign in the history of Apple's assistant. Renders from Bloomberg show what the new interface, design and overall interaction logic will look like. Apple plans to present the final version at WWDC in June 2026.

The new Siri capsule from the Dynamic Island

The most visible change: the assistant will now appear as a new pill-shaped bubble that pops out of the Dynamic Island. That means Siri moves away from the old full-screen dialog window to a modern chat interface similar to the one used by OpenAI's ChatGPT. This format is better suited to long conversations and feels more familiar to users accustomed to modern chat assistants.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the capsule will include a drop-down menu with three options: Ask, Siri and ChatGPT. This lets users quickly pick the tool best suited to the task at hand. For example, Ask for a simple information lookup, Siri for controlling the device, and ChatGPT for complex questions.

The new Siri design includes a Liquid Glass element, which has become a signature feature of Apple's recent iOS versions. It gives the interface a modern, glassy look that will differ from the current design of the old Siri.

What changes in the interface

Beyond the visual redesign, Siri gets several significant functional improvements that should make the assistant more powerful and easier to use:

• Chat interface — instead of the traditional dialog window, users can hold a conversation as in an ordinary messenger, which is better for long dialogs
• ChatGPT integration — users can choose ChatGPT directly for complex tasks that need its capabilities
• Quick switching — the drop-down menu lets you change modes instantly during a session
• Improved context — Siri will better understand earlier questions in the chat and answer more relevantly
• New aesthetics — the Liquid Glass design makes the interface more modern and appealing

Reveal at WWDC in June

Apple has not yet officially confirmed the details of the Siri redesign. Bloomberg got the information about the new interface from sources inside the company who have access to development plans and are familiar with internal discussions. According to the reports, the company plans to cover all the changes at WWDC, which takes place in June 2026.

Mark Gurman, the author of the Bloomberg article, notes that the published renders are based on reliable information, but the final design Apple shows on stage may differ. The changes could be small cosmetic tweaks or more serious changes to the interaction logic.

"The renders show one possible version, but the final result may differ,"

Gurman explains.

Why it matters

Building ChatGPT into Siri signals that Apple no longer sees its assistant as a direct competitor to OpenAI. Instead, the company is choosing a complementary strategy, offering users the best tool for each specific task. That is a sensible decision, given that ChatGPT is significantly better than Siri at handling complex questions and giving detailed answers.

The move to a chat interface is Apple's adaptation to users who are already used to ChatGPT and expect exactly this kind of interaction. Right now, Siri's interface looks outdated next to chat assistants. The new capsule from the Dynamic Island is also more convenient than the full-screen window, which used to pull users away from their work and fill the whole screen.

iOS 27 will officially ship in fall 2026, but the full announcement of all features is expected in June at WWDC. That is building considerable anticipation among users and developers interested in the future of Apple Intelligence and the growth of AI in Apple's ecosystem.
