JAKARTA - After feeling "outdated" for a long time, Apple is finally preparing to make a massive reboot for its digital assistant. At WWDC 2026, the Cupertino-based company is rumored to introduce a new version of Siri with a redesigned "Ask Siri" button and much deeper AI capabilities.

This is not just a cosmetic update - it is Apple's attempt to catch up in an era of AI that is increasingly brutal in competition.

From Ordinary Assistant to All-in-One AI

The most striking change is in the display. Apple is said to be abandoning the old design with a full screen glow effect, replaced with a more concise interface - possibly in the form of a small indicator like a "pill" at the top of the screen that can grow into an interactive panel.

More than just visuals, Apple is also preparing a new approach through the "Ask Siri" button that will be present directly in various applications. This means that users can interact with AI contextually without having to leave the activity.

Imagine this: you highlight text in a chat, then just press Ask Siri - it can be summarized, scheduled, or analyzed without switching apps.

Apple is also rumored to be bringing a separate Siri app, which allows users to manage their conversation history, search for old interactions, and switch between voice and text input more flexibly.

AI integration will be the key. This new generation Siri is said to have deeper access to personal data such as calendars and messages, so it can provide more relevant and personal responses.

Although the announcement is likely to take place at WWDC 2026, the full launch of this feature is predicted to only come gradually - possibly in conjunction with the next major iOS update.

If it is realized, this could be a "make or break" moment for Siri: remain a regular assistant, or finally graduate to a truly smart AI.
