Apple Reported to Open Siri and Apple Intelligence to Third-Party AI Models in iOS 27

The plan points to a strategy that favors user choice through partnerships over a closed Apple-only AI stack.

Overview

  • Bloomberg reporting says iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 will add an Extensions framework that lets Apple Intelligence pull generative answers from installed AI apps.
  • Users would choose which outside model runs each task, such as writing help, image creation, or Siri conversations.
  • Apple has tested links to Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude, and Gemini is expected to support a revamped Siri later this year.
  • AI developers would add compatibility by updating their App Store apps so their models can be called by Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground.
  • Apple is expected to outline the approach at WWDC on June 8, shortly after agreeing to a $250 million settlement over claims it overstated Apple Intelligence features.
