Now that the first developer beta for iOS 26.5 has launched without any inkling of the AI capabilities Apple first promised in 2024, including super-delayed in-app actions, personal context awareness, and on-screen awareness features, all eyes seem to be on iOS 27 and the upcoming WWDC 2026 for sweeping changes to Apple’s AI strategy.
Therefore, Apple is apparently working on a chatbot-style Siri, which can work seamlessly with third-party agents, and comes with the ability to handle multiple questions simultaneously. What’s more, Apple is apparently also testing a Grammarly-like word suggestion feature for its keyboard.
We know that Apple is apparently working around the clock to roll out new AI capabilities for voice assistant Siri with the upcoming iOS 27 update.
What we know so far
Apple’s updated Siri chatbot will run on Google’s own TPU and cloud infrastructure, albeit under Apple ownership. The iPhone maker emphasized that the arrangement will not result in changes to Apple’s strict privacy protections.
According to previous information from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Siri chatbot will be baked into Apple’s software, allowing it to leverage personal data, perform actions in apps, search the web, generate content, including images, provide coding assistance, summarize and analyze information, and upload files.
Apple is also designing features that allow the Siri chatbot to see open windows and on-screen content, as well as the ability to customize device features and settings.
The Siri chatbot will reportedly utilize a much more advanced version of Google’s Gemini models, known internally as Apple Foundation Models version 11. According to Gurman, “these models are expected to compete with the Gemini 3 and be significantly more capable” than the updated Siri-enabled models.
Additionally, Siri can no longer be accessed solely through voice commands. Instead, Apple is launching a dedicated Siri app with iOS 27, which will serve as a central repository for all previous conversations with the AI assistant. The app will include an “Extensions” feature that will seamlessly connect to third-party agents such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude, allowing Siri to leverage the capabilities of these agents. The App Store will also have a dedicated “Extensions” section where users can install all supported third-party agents.
Additionally, while users can still activate Siri via voice commands or the power button, Apple is testing a new interface built into Dynamic Island. Lastly, Apple is trying to replace the “Spotlight” search function with Siri, allowing for a unified search-related UI. The new search interface will continue to show “Siri Suggestions,” which include apps, upcoming appointments, and settings changes suggested by AI.
New Siri that handles multiple questions at once and a word suggestion feature similar to Apple’s Grammarly
Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has delivered other news, detailing how the new Siri will be able to handle combo requests. For example, users can ask Siri to “check the weather, make calendar appointments, and send messages – all in one command.” Currently, Siri can only process one such request at a time.
Additionally, according to Gurman, Apple is testing a new keyboard that functions more like Grammarly by offering alternative word suggestions. This is because Apple has significantly improved its autocorrect algorithm in recent months.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
