Apple is preparing a major update for Siri, which is expected to make the assistant more akin to modern AI chatbots. According to Bloomberg, the new feature will allow Siri to handle multiple requests at once, rather than one at a time as it does now.
According to sources from the publication, the company is developing this feature as part of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, which are planned for release at the end of the year.
This involves the ability to combine multiple commands in a single request to Siri. For example, a user will be able to ask the assistant to check the weather, create a calendar event, and immediately send a message—all without having to phrase each request separately.
Currently, Siri supports sequential commands without the need to repeat the words “Siri” or “Hey Siri,” but each action is still processed separately. This is why the assistant is often considered less convenient compared to new AI solutions.
According to Bloomberg, this development is part of a broader Siri update. Apple aims to make the assistant more useful, better able to understand context, personal user information, and what is displayed on the screen.
The new Siri and other Apple Intelligence features are expected to be showcased at the WWDC conference on June 8.
Siri as a chat-bot
In addition to multitasking, the company is reportedly working on making Siri act more like a chat-bot. Apple is also preparing a separate app for the assistant and a feature that will allow it to gather and summarize information from the internet as part of an internal project called World Knowledge Answers.
In the future, this should enable Siri to perform complex action chains, such as finding a photo, editing it, and immediately sending it to a contact with a single command.
New keyboard
Separately, Apple is reportedly testing an updated system keyboard. It features improved autocorrect and will be able to suggest alternative words based on principles similar to services like Grammarly. The company has not yet made a final decision on launching this tool.
Recall that Apple has recently been working simultaneously on new devices and updating its own services. The company has already introduced the iPhone 17e, which is positioned as the most affordable model in the iPhone 17 lineup, and has also unveiled the cheapest MacBook in history.
Meanwhile, industry media and insiders are already actively discussing the next generation of Apple smartphones. Although the official presentation is still far off, leaks are already allowing for a preliminary understanding of the upcoming iPhone 18 lineup, which may include a base model, Pro and Pro Max versions, as well as possibly new formats like an updated Air or even a foldable smartphone.
