In an exciting development for Apple users, a recent rumor from Bloomberg's reputable journalist Mark Gurman suggests that significant enhancements are on the horizon for Siri in the upcoming iOS 27, which is anticipated to be unveiled on June 8.
This update does not just encompass the much-anticipated debut of the AI-driven Gemini-powered Siri, but it also indicates a broader integration. Gurman reports that Apple is poised to "open up" Siri, enabling it to function seamlessly with any AI service through an extension that third-party applications can use.
As a result, Siri will no longer be limited to a sole partnership with ChatGPT. Currently, if Siri encounters a question it cannot answer, it sends the query to ChatGPT. With the changes in iOS 27, users will have the option to choose from various AI providers for Siri to consult.
Furthermore, Apple is expected to monetize these AI services via App Store subscriptions, marking a shift away from the one-time partnership agreements, such as the existing collaboration with OpenAI for ChatGPT integration.
