Welcome to 9.5 Macdaily for Thursday, May 28th, 2026. I'm your host, Chance Miller. We are supported this week by card pointers.

Leading off today, new images from Bloomberg reveal our first look at Apple's redesigned Siri interface coming with iOS 27.

The images are illustrations created based on information viewed by Bloomberg and people

with knowledge of Apple's plans.

The report largely rehashes all of what Bloomberg previously reported about the new Siri

design, but this time with illustrations.

For example, the report says Siri will live inside the Dynamic Island as part of iOS 26. Users will have two ways to access

Apple's assistant. They can say the wake word, or they can hold down the power button. This will

trigger a redesigned animation in the dynamic island.

Users will also be able to swipe down from the top center of the iPhone anywhere throughout iOS 27.

This will launch a new search or ask interface for getting things done or searching by typing,

the voice will also remain an option. To access

notification center, you'll now need to swipe only from the top left corner of your iPhone.

The search or ask interface will let users launch apps, start text messages, ask about the weather,

add calendar appointments, and other similar tasks. They'll also be

able to search the web using Apple's new AI-powered search system. Apple has also been testing

ways to open up iOS 27 to third-party AI agents installed through the App Store, and through

this search and ask interface is how those agents will be presented

to users. The story also includes illustrations of series integration into the camera app and the

standalone chatbot app. The camera app is also becoming customizable in iOS 27 with a new

ad widgets panel. And there are illustrations showing the AI-powered grammar-checking

tools and photo editing options like extend and reframe.
