Overview
- Multiple outlets on Wednesday reported that Apple is building an “Extensions” system for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 that lets Apple Intelligence pull generative AI from installed apps across Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground.
- Reporting says Apple has tested integrations with Google and Anthropic, Google’s Gemini is expected to support a revamped Siri, and users would pick models in Settings or within each provider’s app.
- Third-party services would add support through App Store updates, and responses could use distinct voices per model so users can tell which system is speaking.
- Apple is expected to detail the approach at WWDC in June and ship the software later this year, though the company has not confirmed full specifics.
- The strategy surfaces after Apple agreed to a $250 million settlement over claims it overstated Apple Intelligence capabilities, with court filings noting Apple denied wrongdoing while resolving the suit.
