9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple will unveil iOS 27 at WWDC on June 8, introducing significant updates to Siri, including an Extensions system that allows AI chatbot apps to integrate directly with Siri.
- Since iOS 18, Siri has featured ChatGPT integration, and while Apple initially planned to add other AI providers like Google Gemini, it instead partnered with Google to use Gemini models for unreleased Siri and Apple Intelligence features.
- The new Siri Extensions system in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 will enable apps like Anthropic’s Claude to work with Siri, expanding AI chatbot compatibility without altering the existing Google Gemini-powered features.
- Users will access new AI services through a dedicated App Store section, and developers must update their chatbot apps to support the new Siri integration.
- Additionally, starting with iOS 26.4, AI chatbots can now integrate with CarPlay, requiring app updates from developers to utilize this functionality.
