Apple Plans Third-Party AI Chatbot Support in Siri, Rumors Say

Apple is preparing a major shift in how Siri works with artificial intelligence in its upcoming iOS 27 update, according to a report from Mark Gurman. The update, expected to be unveiled on June 8, signals a broader move toward a more flexible and open Siri experience. Instead of relying on a single AI system, Apple appears ready to give users more choice in how their assistant handles complex queries.

The update is expected to go beyond the long-rumored AI-powered version of Siri, which many expect to use advanced systems similar to Gemini. Gurman suggests that Apple will introduce a new approach where Siri can connect with different AI services through extensions. These extensions would allow third-party AI apps to integrate directly with Siri, provided they offer support for this system.

Currently, Siri can hand off unanswered queries to ChatGPT when it cannot respond on its own. This feature may continue in iOS 27, but with a key difference. Users will be able to choose other AI providers as well. This change will remove the limitation of relying on a single partner and will give users more flexibility in selecting their preferred AI service.

Apple is also expected to benefit financially from this shift. The company will likely earn revenue from App Store subscriptions tied to these AI services. As a result, Apple may move away from one-off partnership deals like the exclusive arrangement it currently has with OpenAI for ChatGPT integration. This approach could open the door for more AI companies to compete for space within Siri.
