      Siri is set to receive a chatbot-style application that includes saved chats, prompts, and enhanced AI capabilities.

      Apple is undertaking a significant redesign of Siri to enable it to compete with AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini. The company is currently testing both an independent Siri app and a system-wide "Ask Siri" feature as part of a larger AI renovation.

      The updated version is anticipated to launch at WWDC on June 8, coinciding with iOS 27 and macOS 27. Apple's objective is to transform Siri from a simple assistant into a deeply integrated AI agent that interacts seamlessly across apps and comprehends your workflow.

      What modifications is Apple implementing in the Siri app?

      As reported by Bloomberg, Apple is experimenting with a dedicated Siri app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This app aims to compete with modern AI assistants while providing a centralized interface for managing conversations.

      The interface displays your previous chats in either a list or grid format, complete with previews for each discussion. Users can pin key conversations, search through older ones, and initiate new chats with a prominent button.

      Within a conversation, the design resembles the Messages app, featuring chat bubbles and a text input area. Users can toggle between voice and text input and can also upload files such as documents or photos for Siri to examine.

      The app offers suggested prompts based on your prior activity, adding a personalized touch. It adjusts to light and dark modes, maintaining a consistent design with the rest of iOS.

      Enhanced app management and smarter AI integration

      The report also notes that Apple is broadening its App Intents system, which enables Siri to manage actions within both Apple and third-party apps more accurately.

      Eventually, this could allow users to navigate apps using voice commands, including scrolling through menus or initiating actions without having to touch the screen.

      These features are powered by updated Apple Foundation Models, in conjunction with Google Gemini technology. If executed well, Siri could finally provide the experience of a modern AI assistant that aligns with how users typically engage with their phones.

      This new Android flagship competitor is advancing zoom capabilities beyond Apple and Samsung.

      The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is revolutionizing zoom photography, achieving 10x zoom capabilities — and doing it better than ever before. While Samsung has previously excelled in this area with older Galaxy S Ultra devices, it has since shifted focus to shorter zoom ranges. Now, Oppo is bringing extensive zoom back into the spotlight and taking it to a new level.
