Apple Overhauls Siri with AI Chatbot

Apple Overhauls Siri with AI Chatbot
iOS 27: Apple’s Next Big iPhone Update May Focus on AI, a Smarter Siri, and Smoother Performance · thehansindia.com

Apple is making big changes to Siri, its digital assistant.

They are adding a new feature called 'Campos' that will make Siri more like a chatbot.

This means Siri will be able to have more natural conversations, remember what you talk about, and do more complex tasks.

For example, you can ask Siri to find a photo, edit it, or even write an email using details from your calendar.

Apple is also working with Google to make this new Siri smarter.

The new Siri will be shown off at a big event in June and will be available to everyone later in the year.

Apple is also making sure that Siri will keep your information private and won't store too much of your conversation history.
