Apple Targets Spring Siri App Integration as It Races to Build AI Agent

3 articles · Updated · The Verge · Nov 8

Summary

  • Spring is Apple’s target for Siri to start controlling third-party apps, letting users place Grubhub orders or book OpenTable reservations through the assistant.
  • iOS 27.3 is expected to deliver the nearer upgrade: fine-grained control of Apple’s own apps, including rotating and cropping Photos images and organizing Safari tabs.
  • John Ternus is pressing Craig Federighi to speed the Siri roadmap because Apple believes it is still behind rivals such as OpenAI’s Dots and Meta’s Muse.
  • Next year is when Apple could push Siri beyond one-off commands into a more autonomous agent that tracks goals and carries out ongoing tasks.
