Apple is expected to launch a standalone Siri app on iOS 27: A serious competitor to ChatGPT.

Siri is no longer just a feature hidden beneath the phone screen. In the upcoming iOS 27, expected to launch later this year, Apple is reportedly going to introduce a standalone Siri app directly on the home screen. This move marks a significant shift in helping the company's virtual assistant compete directly with leading AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude.

Solving the problem of experience and continuity.

Separating Siri into a standalone app is seen as a strategic solution to current limitations. Instead of having to handle individual requests and easily losing context when users switch between apps, the new Siri will maintain a seamless conversational space. Users can follow responses more clearly and easily return to previous content thanks to the history saving feature.

Breakthrough features in the new Siri app

According to a report from Bloomberg expert Mark Gurman, the Siri app on iOS 27 will not only be a voice control tool but a comprehensive AI assistant with the following features:

• Intuitive chat interface:The design is similar to the Messages app, with chat bubbles that allow for flexible interaction.
• Multimodal support:Users can easily switch between text input or voice commands depending on the situation.
• Analyzing files and images:Siri will allow you to upload data files or images to request analysis, summaries, or insights.
• Manage history and pin conversations:Conversations are organized in a grid or list format. Users can pin important content for quick access later.
• Ecosystem synchronization:Thanks to iCloud, chat history will be updated consistently across iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27.

The collaboration between Apple and the Google Gemini platform.

Notably, Siri on iOS 27 is expected to run on the Google Gemini platform. This combination gives Siri superior natural language processing capabilities, comparable to the most advanced chatbots currently available. Apple's differentiating factor is its deep integration (Personal Context). Siri can understand and retrieve data from emails, calendars, and messages to provide highly personalized responses while maintaining security.

In addition, Siri provides quick suggestions based on usage habits and allows users to directly save important content to the Notes app (Apple Notes). With these improvements, iOS 27 promises to place artificial intelligence at the center of the user experience within the Apple ecosystem.
