Apple to Let Users Choose Rival AI Models Across iOS 27 Features, Bloomberg News Reports
Apple plans deeper Apple Intelligence integrations as users gain access to rival models for text and image tasks through Settings.
- On Tuesday, Apple Inc reported that iOS 27 will allow users to select third-party AI models to power features like Siri and Writing Tools through a new capability called "Extensions."
- Seeking to close the gap with rivals Alphabet and Microsoft, Apple is widely perceived to be "behind" on AI and aims to transform existing hardware into an AI-centric experience.
- Through the Settings app, users can choose models like Google's Gemini or Anthropic's Claude to power specific tasks and assign different voices to Siri conversations based on the external model responding.
- With CEO Tim Cook soon stepping down, incoming executive John Ternus faces charting the company's future AI strategy as Apple projects 14% to 17% sales growth for the third quarter.
- Apple is expected to reveal more details about these AI plans at WWDC, which kicks off on June 8, ahead of iOS 27's official release later this year.
