Key Highlights
- Bloomberg reports Apple will enable Siri to work with third-party AI platforms including Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude.
- iOS 27 is scheduled for preview at Apple’s WWDC event in June 2025.
- Direct integration will allow users to select their preferred AI service for individual tasks within Siri.
- Revenue sharing from third-party AI subscriptions could provide Apple with additional income streams.
- Development includes a dedicated Siri application and an “Ask Siri” interface element for iOS 27.
Apple appears ready to transform Siri into an open platform for multiple AI services, representing a significant evolution in the company’s artificial intelligence strategy.
Bloomberg’s latest reporting suggests iOS 27 will introduce this capability. Third-party AI providers like Google and Anthropic will gain the ability to connect their services — Gemini and Claude respectively — directly through Siri’s interface, giving users freedom to choose which assistant handles their queries.
Apple’s existing partnership with OpenAI already allows ChatGPT to function alongside Siri. The current implementation requires user confirmation before ChatGPT receives any information when Siri transfers a request. Apple previously indicated additional AI partnerships were on the horizon — these reports suggest that expansion is now materializing.
This broader integration strategy positions the iPhone as a flexible AI ecosystem, offering users choice among various AI assistants rather than commitment to a single provider.
Monetization Strategy
Apple has financial incentives driving this expansion. Reports indicate the company plans to collect a portion of subscription revenue generated through third-party AI applications that connect with Siri — mirroring the revenue structure already in place with the App Store.
This approach would establish Siri as a gateway for AI service distribution, with Apple positioned to earn a percentage from transactions. The business model follows established patterns from Apple’s platform ecosystem.
Implementation will occur through Apple Intelligence, the comprehensive AI framework the company introduced in the previous year. Third-party developers will create applications compatible with this infrastructure.
June WWDC Presentation Anticipated
Apple is anticipated to demonstrate these capabilities during its Worldwide Developers Conference, scheduled from June 8 through June 12. The opening keynote takes place on June 8.
This annual event serves as Apple’s primary venue for unveiling upcoming versions of iOS, macOS, and companion operating systems to the developer community. iOS 27 is expected to receive prominent attention.
Bloomberg emphasizes that development plans remain subject to modification before the conference — final confirmation will come through Apple’s official presentation.
In addition to expanded AI service access, reports from earlier in the week suggest iOS 27 will include a standalone Siri application and a new “Ask Siri” button interface.
Apple has yet to provide official commentary regarding these reported developments.
