iOS 27 to Introduce Revolutionary Siri App with Extensions Feature
In his Power On newsletter, Filmogaz.com’s Mark Gurman outlined new AI plans from Apple. The report focuses on a forthcoming Siri app and an Extensions feature.
Core features of the new Siri app
Users will be able to speak to Siri and type to it. The app will store and show past conversations for later review.
It is described as functioning much like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude apps. Apple already allowed Siri to access ChatGPT beginning with iOS 18.2.
Extensions and third-party integrations
An Extensions capability will let third-party chatbots connect to Siri and the Siri app. Internal settings text mentions agents from installed apps working with Siri systemwide.
- Extensions enable agents from installed apps to interact with Siri.
- Developers can add chatbot integrations to the system.
- The App Store will include a dedicated Extensions section for these integrations.
When it will arrive
The first developer beta of iOS 27 should appear in June. A broad public update is expected in September.
The App Store’s Extensions area will act as a marketplace for third-party AI add-ons. That section aims to simplify discovery and installation.
Interface changes and system integration
Siri will receive a major visual update. The redesign may use the Dynamic Island on supported iPhone models.
Apple plans a systemwide Ask Siri button inside its apps. A Write with Siri button may appear above the keyboard for text-based prompts.
Device compatibility questions
It is unclear whether every device that supports iOS 27 will get the new Siri app. Apple Intelligence hardware requirements could limit availability.
Some reports suggest the feature might require an iPhone 15 Pro or later with enhanced Apple Intelligence support. Final compatibility details should arrive with the beta.
Reports indicate iOS 27 will introduce a new Siri app with Extensions. The change could reshape how users access assistant tools.
