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.
