iOS 27 leak reveals new Siri design, Camera app, more

New images from Bloomberg today reveal our first look at Apple’s redesigned Siri interface coming with iOS 27. The illustrations, created by Bloomberg, show Apple’s new Siri interface, the Siri chatbot app, and more.

iOS 27 leak reveals design changes

“The images are based on information viewed by Bloomberg and people with knowledge of the company’s plans who asked not to be identified because the software isn’t yet public,” the report says. “The company often tests multiple designs of features internally, and the final version set to be introduced to the public in June could differ.”

You can head to Bloomberg to view all of the illustrations. We’re not sharing the rest of them here out of respect for the outlet’s work and paywall.

The report largely rehashes all of what Bloomberg previously reported about the new Siri design, but this time with illustrations.

For example, the report says Siri will “live inside the Dynamic Island” as part of iOS 27. Users will be able to access Siri in two ways:

1. Saying “Siri” or holding down the power button: This will “trigger a redesigned Siri animation in the Dynamic Island.”
2. Swipe down from the top center of the iPhone anywhere throughout iOS 27: This will launch a new Search or Ask interface “for getting things done or searching by typing, though using voice remains an option.” This will also display Siri Suggestions, web searches, and more.

To access Notification Center iOS 27, you’ll now need to swipe only from the top-left corner of the iPhone.

Here’s what you’ll be able to do via the “Search or Ask” interface in iOS 27 for Siri:

From there, users can launch apps, start text messages, ask about the weather, add calendar appointments, search through notes, trigger shortcuts within apps, or search the web using Apple’s new AI-powered search system, which competes with tools like Perplexity. Results are displayed in a rich text card that pops out of the Dynamic Island. Users can swipe down further to open a chatbot-style conversation inside the Siri app.

Apple has also been testing ways to open up iOS 27 to third-party AI agents installed through the App Store. The company already has a partnership with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and it has internally tested integrations for Siri and other AI features with Google’s Gemini and Anthropic PBC’s Claude. Users will be able to route queries directly to outside AI services from the Search or Ask interface. There’s a button that provides a drop-down menu of external agent choices.

The story also includes illustrations of Siri’s integration into the Camera app and the standalone Siri chatbot app. The chatbot app largely resembles similar offerings from apps like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.

When users ask for information, Siri presents rich text cards and results for topics such as people, places and news headlines. Similar cards also appear for weather forecasts and sports scores, as well as results pulled from a user’s own data, including notes, text messages, emails, contacts, calendar appointments and reminders.

The Camera app is also becoming customizable in iOS 27 with a new “Add Widgets” panel that lets you pin specific tools and controls. There are illustrations showing the new AI-powered grammar checking tools and Photo editing options like Extend and Reframe.

Apple will announce iOS 27 at WWDC, which kicks off with a keynote on June 8th at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. I’ll be on the ground inside Apple Park to bring you all the news and announcements.
