You can't just do lights because that's what they've been trying to do and that didn't really work.

So it's like you at some point, all that's left is gelatinous orb.

The Vergecast

And I think we are in the like gelatinous orb era of AI products.

The Vergecast

It's how you get out of the terrible, uncanny valley of all of this stuff.

The Vergecast

I do think, I think it's sort of silly and overly physical on Vision OS.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

I love the visuals on the iPhone.

The Vergecast

They showed a bunch, but like the new thing where instead of being sort of the light all the way around and then it's, the UX is not super obvious.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Now it's like it all just sort of exists.

The Vergecast

It's like Siri lives in your dynamic island and when you do it, you get the little orb that comes out and then the information kind of comes down from the dynamic island and if you want to expand it,

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

then you're basically, I think, in the Siri app?

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

That I'm not clear on.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

I have further complaints about this.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Can you tell me if I have this correct?

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

So now, on the iPhone, there are different interactions if you swipe down from the top left corner, from the top right corner, and from the center.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Those all do different things.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

That's correct.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

This is not how it should- And I assume you'll still be able to tap and long press on the dynamic island to do things.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

So like, is it possible there are going to be somewhere between five and 10 different interactions that you can do with the top of the screen on your iPhone?

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

Absolutely, yes.

The Vergecast
Siri AI, Screen Time, and the rest of WWDC 2026: The Vergecast Livestream

There are nine different ways to access Siri.
