iOS 27 Siri: Google Gemini AI & Standalone App

Apple's upgraded Siri experience is expected to be a major focus at the upcoming WWDC event. The company plans to unveil a revamped Siri, which has been in development since Apple first announced Apple Intelligence. Here's the thing: Siri will reportedly use a custom version of Google's Gemini AI for some of its new features in iOS and other operating systems. A new report describes significant changes coming to Siri in iOS 27, along with updates to the Camera, Photos, and Shortcuts apps. What's interesting is that Siri is expected to become a standalone app, similar to ChatGPT, but built directly into the iPhone's operating system. It will also be integrated into other iPhone apps. iOS 27 will introduce a new gesture to activate Siri: swiping down from the middle top of the screen. This will allow users to type commands or use voice. The bottom line is that these updates could significantly change how you interact with your iPhone's AI assistant.
