Apple to Integrate Third-Party AI Services into Siri with iOS 27
Apple plans to allow Siri to integrate with third-party AI services like Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude in the upcoming iOS 27 update, expanding beyond its current ChatGPT partnership.
Apple is set to expand Siri's capabilities by integrating third-party AI services in the forthcoming iOS 27 update. This development will enable users to direct queries to AI platforms such as Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude directly through Siri.
The initiative represents a significant shift in Apple's AI strategy, positioning the iPhone as a more versatile AI platform. Siri, introduced over a decade ago, remains central to this evolution.
Apple is reportedly developing tools that will allow chatbot applications installed via the App Store to work seamlessly with Siri and other features under its Apple Intelligence platform. Users will have the option to select which AI service handles each request.
This overhaul could also open new revenue streams for Apple by enabling the company to take a share of subscriptions sold through third-party AI services.
The new software features are expected to be previewed at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, though plans may still be subject to change.
