Amid all the talk about Apple\u2019s long-delayed new Siri, the question of what the new AI personal assistant would look like has barely come up\u2014other than the rumor claiming that on devices with Dynamic Islands, Siri\u2019s visual aspects will materialize within the Dynamic Island \u201cpill\u201d when first activated.<\/p>\n
But if the latest column from Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman is to be believed, there\u2019s a possibility that Apple may be giving Siri a makeover that could replace or at least add to its classic imagery reminiscent of\u00a0 Navi the fairy from Zelda with a 90s Windows screensaver happening inside her orb head.<\/p>\n
At least one part of Siri\u2019s new visual profile, Gurman says, will be the harsh, overexposed glow of the \u201c26\u201d in the teaser image for Apple\u2019s 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).<\/p>\n
Gurman says his anonymous sources with insider knowledge of Apple tell him a visual plan \u201ccurrently being tested\u201d is a significant revamp: a prompt inside the Dynamic Island Pill that says \u201cSearch or Ask,\u201d along with a cursor that glows like that \u201c26\u201d in the WWDC graphic above.<\/p>\n
Another image elsewhere on the Apple Developer site advertising a \u201cspecial event at Apple Park\u201d to kick off WWDC on June 8 features the same glow around a pair of white, concentric rings.\u00a0<\/p>\n In photography terms, that overexposed, glowing blowout look is likely an imitation of something called halation. Halation around a white detail on a black background suggests such intense overexposure that some of the color distorts in the black\u2014sometimes producing blues and reds that bleed into the darker areas of the image.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Halation isn\u2019t necessarily a mistake. In fact, in iPhone photography, some people like halation a whole lot, and will even download expensive apps to insert more of it into their photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Wwdc](\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/wwdc-2026-special-event.jpg\")
