Apple Plans Rebuilt Siri for iOS 27 on Select iPhone Models
Leaked details show a standalone Siri app and expanded AI functions arriving with iOS 27. The update is expected only on iPhone 15 Pro and newer devices.
ForbesLeaked information indicates Apple will introduce a rebuilt Siri when iOS 27 launches in September. The assistant will appear as a standalone app and will handle tasks such as searching the phone, composing messages, and providing detailed answers. Mockups based on the leaks show two access methods.
Pressing the Siri button will display responses in the Dynamic Island, while swiping down on the home screen will open a full chat-style interface.
The new features are expected to require an iPhone 15 Pro or later model. Older devices, including the base iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 Pro, are unlikely to receive the full set of functions even if they can install iOS 27. Apple has previously limited its AI features to recent hardware. Industry patterns at other smartphone makers suggest similar restrictions will remain in place.
Apple raised trade-in values for several models this week.
The iPhone 15 Plus is now listed at $325, the iPhone 14 Pro Max at $375, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max at $320. These values are described as the highest likely before the next flagship launch. Third-party sellers currently list refurbished iPhone 15 Pro units starting around $679.
