In March, Apple announced the date of its annual WWDC event, along with a logo for WWDC 2026.
Now, famed Apple oracle Mark Gurman of Bloomberg says that the WWDC 2026 imagery on the Apple website actually contains our first hints about the new AI-powered Siri that Apple has been working on for years. That means a possible hint about the new and improved Siri has been right under our noses for almost a month.
So far, Apple has released two official images to promote WWDC 2026, which will take place June 8 through 12 at the company’s Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California. The images include neon text that casts a harsh light on the rest of the image, and Gurman says that’s not a simple stylistic choice.

Instead, Gurman’s latest Apple update suggests that this design mimics the yet-to-be-revealed Siri redesign. If he’s correct, Apple is testing a new Siri design that will include a glowing visual cue in the Dynamic Island similar to that neon glow from the promo images.

We could finally get AI Siri at WWDC 2026
Apple’s annual developer conference will kick off with a June 8 “special event,” where the company could finally debut a new AI-powered version of Siri.
As the AI chatbot revolution has changed the way we use technology, Apple’s signature AI assistant Siri remains firmly stuck in the past. After years of delays, Apple finally announced a partnership with Google Gemini to power a more conversational version of Siri with more advanced AI features (and possibly its own standalone app).
Apple is expected to announce the launch of iOS 27 at WWDC 2026, and a Siri announcement would be very appropriate.
