Apple's WWDC 2026 graphic provides "a glimpse of the revamped Siri interface coming in iOS 27," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said iOS 27 will include a new Siri interface in the Dynamic Island. When you trigger Siri, he said the Dynamic Island will show a "Search or Ask" prompt, and this will apparently be accompanied by a "glowing cursor" that looks similar to how the "26" is highlighted in the WWDC 2026 graphic.
There will also be a "thin glow" around the edges of the Dynamic Island when Siri is invoked, and in the search bar of a dedicated Siri app that will be preinstalled on iOS 27, according to Gurman. He previously reported that the Siri app will allow you to have back-and-forth conversations with Siri and view your conversation history.
While the Dynamic Island is available on the iPhone 14 Pro and newer, at least some aspects of the upcoming Siri design will likely be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and newer due to Apple Intelligence compatibility reasons.
Apple announced that WWDC 2026 will run from Monday, June 8 through Friday, June 12. At the annual developers conference, Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, visionOS 27, and more.

India will not require smartphone makers like Apple and Samsung to preload devices with a state-owned biometric identification app, reports Reuters.
The Unique Identification Authority of India asked the IT ministry to start talks with Apple and other tech companies about the possibility of mandatory preinstallation of the Aadhaar identity app, but the IT ministry told Reuters today that it reviewed the proposal and is "not in favor" of mandating the app's preinstallation.
Aadhaar is a 12-digit identity number that residents of India can apply for, and it has been issued to more than 1.34 billion residents. The number is linked to an individual's image, fingerprints, and iris scans, and it serves as proof of residence. It is used for government benefits, banking, taxes, mobile connections, and more.
The Identification Authority said that the IT ministry consulted with "stakeholders from the electronics industry" before deciding not to proceed with the proposal to preload Aadhaar. India's government has asked smartphone makers to preinstall state-owned apps on devices six times over the last two years, according to Reuters. Smartphone makers like Apple have thwarted all requests.
Late last year, India's Department of Communications gave smartphone companies 90 days to start preinstalling the Sanchar Saathi government app on all new devices sold in the country. Sanchar Saathi is a government app that lets users block stolen devices, report fraudulent calls, and verify second-hand phones. Apple told government officials that it would not comply with the requirement because of privacy and security concerns, and the government dropped the issue.
Apple told India the same thing about the Aadhaar app, informing the IT ministry that it had safety and security concerns about preloading apps.
