PANews reported on January 22nd, citing MacRumors, that Apple plans to launch a new Siri chatbot at WWDC 2026 when it releases iOS 27 and other system updates. The Siri chatbot will be positioned to compete with ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, supporting content generation, image creation, document analysis, and device control. While a paid subscription model is not yet confirmed, given the high cost of AI computing, Apple may adopt a tiered pricing model similar to iCloud, offering a free basic version and a paid subscription for advanced features, similar to the current mainstream AI monthly fee of approximately $20. The Siri chatbot will be deeply integrated into the iOS ecosystem, potentially challenging the existing AI market landscape.
