Siri multi‑request testing
Apple is testing a multi‑request Siri that can handle several commands in one query—think weather + calendar + news—and the feature is targeted for iOS 27 and WWDC 2026 previews. Separately, 'Apple Intelligence' briefly appeared in China settings before being pulled, signaling Apple is actively iterating on on‑device conversational features. (livemint.com) (x.com)
Bloomberg says the multi‑request work is being developed across iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 and is already in internal testing inside Apple engineering groups. (bloomberg.com) Reporting identifies user‑facing changes under consideration including a standalone Siri app, an "Ask Siri" button and new features called "World Knowledge Answers" for web‑summarization. (livemint.com) Apple is scheduled to preview iOS 27 at WWDC on June 8, 2026, and outlets expect the multi‑request Siri to be shown there with a "Preview" label rather than a full production launch. (9to5mac.com) Mark Gurman reported that Apple Intelligence briefly appeared in Settings on some China iPhones and was removed within hours because the rollout lacked necessary local regulatory approval. (macrumors.com) Bloomberg’s coverage says Apple has been working with Alibaba and Baidu to adapt Apple Intelligence for China, with Alibaba positioned as a local content‑moderation/censorship layer on top of Apple’s models. (neowin.net) Outlets note the Siri overhaul includes deeper app integration and backend chaining so a single utterance can trigger multiple intents, with testing ongoing and a potential consumer rollout aligned with this year’s iOS 27 release window (often cited as September).
