A new report says some version of the long-awaited new, AI-powered Siri will debut on June 8 at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) at the same time iOS 27 is also scheduled to be shown to the public. One possible version detailed in the report makes it sound like phones with the new Siri features will provide an overall Siri-heavy experience.
It sounds like Apple is considering making this AI-powered Siri ubiquitous, like the Gemini features that show up across Google’s Search, Gmail, and Google Docs products.
The report comes from sources leaking anonymously to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who is famous for his many Apple scoops. Sources have been conveying a story lately about Siri: it’s chronically disappointing, and key features are delayed until at least September. But Gurman’s latest article is so detailed in parts, it gives the distinct impression that he or someone close to him has physically tried out at least one in-development version of Apple’s new AI-powered personal assistant, and its integration into many areas of some version of iOS 27.
This (again: reportedly not finalized) version, Gurman says, has its functions divided across a Siri utility that pops up via the usual prompts, and a more feature-rich dedicated Siri app. The app, Gurman says, will “display prior conversations in either a list or a grid of rounded rectangles with text previews.”
Conversations with the new Siri sound like they’ll be much more like chatbot conversations—laid out in familiar, threaded back-and-forth bubbles that will remind users of the Messages app, though conversations with Siri can also be spoken, Gurman says.
Meanwhile, after triggering Siri the old fashioned way, one possible design, which—once again—is recounted in vivid detail by Gurman, will place Siri in the tiny Dynamic Island at first (for higher end iPhones with Dynamic Islands, I suppose). After speaking to Siri initially, the user will see “a pill-shaped indicator labeled ‘Searching’” next to “a glowing Siri icon.” Once Siri cooks up your answer, Gurman says the interface will expand downward to display the answer in a Liquid Glass-styled panel.
But in addition to these two different ways of accessing Siri, there may reportedly be others in testing. There’s apparently a possible “Write with Siri” option that will materialize above the keyboard whenever users input text. Gurman says that built in apps may also have an “Ask Siri” menu option that will allow users “to send selected content into a new Siri conversation.”
Meanwhile, multiple Gurman leakers apparently shared their belief that key personalization features for the new Siri involving access to users’ data, and “awareness” of what’s on the screen, should not be expected until later in the year.

![Kevin Feige Has Finally Admitted ‘Blade’ Probably Isn’t Happening
“There’s only been one Blade. There’s only ever gonna be one Blade.” When Wesley Snipes spoke those lines in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine, audiences cackled. Sure, Deadpool and the characters around him love to make self-referential jokes, but something about Snipes—playing Blade for the first time since 2004’s Blade: Trinity—delivering the joke hit extra hard. Comic-book movie lovers know, of course, that Marvel announced a Blade reboot starring Mahershala Ali all the way back in 2019. It’s had a stop-and-start progression since then and slowly became a bit of a punchline, with many fans coming to believe it would never actually happen. It’s not unheard of in Hollywood that a movie gets announced, then never actually goes into production. But it is unusual when a high-profile Marvel project starring a two-time Oscar winner that was trumpeted from the Hall H stage at San Diego Comic-Con gets quietly shoved to the bottom of the TBD list.
However, Marvel hadn’t made any statement putting Blade to rest until very recently, when Happy Sad Confused podcast host Josh Horowitz came right out and asked Marvel head Kevin Feige for an update on the status of Blade. Horowitz shared the clip in an Instagram reel you can watch here, but this is what they said:
“How much time in therapy have you spent talking about Blade?” Horowitz joked to Feige. “This poor project. We just need to get this done, Kevin … We all want it. Mahershala wants it. How are you feeling at this moment?” Feige replied, “I’m feeling very excited that we got Wesley back for a time in Deadpool & Wolverine and like a gigantic loser and a failure that we didn’t get off the ground with Mahershala.” So he doesn’t say there will never, ever be a new Blade film, no matter what Deadpool & Wolverine would have us believe. But it sure sounds like the Mahershala Ali Blade movie is no longer in play.
Horowitz also asked if there’s a chance Secret Wars could be two films (no), if Doomsday is sticking to its release date (yes), and what the MCU will look like after Secret Wars arrives in late 2027. “I look to the comics as I always do in terms of our storytelling,” Feige said, after noting he doesn’t consider Secret Wars to be a reboot. “And after both the Secret Wars, but particularly the [Jonathan] Hickman Secret Wars from 10 years ago, there’s a nice road map to where we can go.” Horowitz also asked if any actors have signed on for X-Men characters that we don’t know about yet, and Feige said, with supreme vagueness, “Not necessarily.” Perhaps we’ll learn more about that when Marvel’s Hall H panel happens this weekend at San Diego Comic-Con. Marvel didn’t hold its traditional Saturday night panel in 2025, so Feige and company have some catching up to do. Want more io9 news?
