DEVOURED
Apple is opening Siri and iOS system features to competitor AI models, allowing users to choose between Google, Anthropic, and other providers through an 'Extensions' feature launching in iOS 27.
What: Bloomberg reports Apple is developing an 'Extensions' system for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 that allows users to select third-party LLMs to power Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground. Models from Google and Anthropic are currently being tested. The feature launches later this year as Tim Cook steps down and incoming CEO John Ternus charts Apple's AI strategy.
Why it matters: This confirms Apple's strategy to be an AI platform rather than an AI builder, leveraging its hardware distribution advantage instead of competing on model development where it's widely seen as behind competitors.
