Overview
- Apple, which reports Wednesday say is designing a new review system, aims to allow AI agents and AI-coding features without weakening privacy or security.
- The push follows March blocks on updates to “vibe coding” apps that let people build software on-device with plain-language prompts, a practice current rules prohibit.
- AI agents can carry out multi-step tasks or spin up mini apps, creating review and safety risks that Apple wants to curb after cases of agents deleting user data.
- Apple is also preparing a major Siri upgrade in iOS 27 powered by custom Google Gemini models, and it has asked developers to add actions like flight booking and calendar invites.
- Some partners worry Apple could later add commissions as it courts integrations and considers multiple chatbot options for Siri, with plans possibly discussed at WWDC on June 8.
