The upcoming release of iOS 27 will bring significant changes to Siri, including the potential for third-party chatbot integration. Apple aims to enable applications to connect with Siri through an Extensions API, which would differ from the current model that relies on specific partnerships, such as the existing collaboration with OpenAI for ChatGPT.
During the recent WWDC 2026 keynote, Apple showcased its latest software features, with a focus on enhanced stability and Siri AI advancements. However, some features, including a simplified version of the Apple Watch Ultra-exclusive watchface, are expected to be revealed in September alongside new Apple Watch models. This new face will retain the large clock design but will not include a second row of complications.
Discussions with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are underway regarding the integration of their systems with Siri. Although the anticipated features have not yet been finalized, they are expected to emerge soon. As September approaches, further information about the extensions and their functionality is likely to be disclosed.
