Apple Reportedly Bringing Claude and Gemini to Siri in iOS 27

Apple is reportedly preparing a new Siri for iOS 27 that would allow the assistant to hand over requests to rival AI. Siri has already been doing this with ChatGPT and now apps like Claude and Gemini will also be a part of that. Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 at WWDC, which begins June 8. 

The starting point is something Apple already has in place. Since iOS 18, Siri has been able to send certain questions to ChatGPT through Apple Intelligence. Apple had signaled early on that more providers could follow, and Google Gemini was the obvious name, but that expansion never arrived. Instead, Apple moved in a different direction behind the scenes. 

Earlier this year, Report suggested Apple had struck a deal with Google to use Gemini models for unreleased Siri and Apple Intelligence features tied to personal context and app actions.

What is now being reported for iOS 27 is more than just a one-off partnership. Apple is said to be building an extension system that would let installed AI apps plug into Siri more broadly. That would mean Apple would not need to cut a separate public arrangement every time it wanted Siri to work with another chatbot.

The feature is expected to stretch beyond the iPhone. According to the reports, the same system is being built for iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 as well. A message in test versions of the software reportedly says extensions will allow agents from installed apps to work with Siri, the Siri app, and other features on Apple devices, with users directed to a new App Store section to add more AI services. Developers would then need to update their apps to support the new setup.

That fits with the larger Siri story heading into WWDC. Apple is also said to be testing a more chatbot-like Siri and even a standalone Siri app. After missing the original timeline for some of its biggest Siri promises, Apple now seems to be moving on two tracks at once.
