"Apple has been spinning its wheels for many months over its approach to artificial intelligence, but a strategy finally appears to be emerging for the company. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported today that Apple's long-awaited Siri overhaul will allegedly involve transforming the voice assistant into an AI chatbot, internally called Campos."
"He also cited sources who claimed that while Apple has been testing a standalone Campos app, the company doesn't plan to release it for customers. Instead, the new chatbot will emphasize deep software integrations when it rolls out, reportedly as part of the iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 wave late next year. However, there will reportedly be a new features for the current iteration Siri coming in the iOS 26.4."
"Pivoting to a chatbot gives some additional context to Apple's recent move to collaborate with frequent rival Google; the companies announced earlier in January that Gemini models will be used to power the upcoming versions of Siri. Gemini has become ubiquitous in the Google ecosystem, and it makes sense for Apple to leverage outside help in this segment where it has already been trailing its competitors."
Apple plans to transform Siri into an AI chatbot called Campos that will replace the current Siri interface. The chatbot will adopt an interactive model similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. Apple has tested a standalone Campos app but does not intend to release a separate app to customers. The new assistant will emphasize deep software integrations and is expected to roll out with iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27. iOS 26.4 will deliver incremental Siri updates and previously promised features. Apple collaborated with Google to use Gemini models to power the upcoming Siri versions. Additional reports mention a wearable AI pin arriving in 2027.
