Apple to Let Siri Use ChatGPT, Gemini, and Other AI Apps in iOS 27

iOS 27's reported Extensions feature would put ChatGPT in a queue alongside Claude, Gemini and others — and this time, every AI company would pay Apple a commission to be there.

Apple is preparing to open Siri to competing artificial intelligence services in iOS 27, ending the exclusive arrangement it has held with OpenAI's ChatGPT since 2024. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported the plans Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because the plans have not been announced.

Under the reported plans, chatbots including Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, Microsoft's Copilot, Perplexity, Amazon's Alexa, xAI's Grok, and Meta AI would handle Siri queries directly alongside ChatGPT for the first time. Apple would collect revenue from third-party AI subscriptions processed through the App Store under the new arrangement, Bloomberg reported. Apple has not commented publicly about the report.

The change is built around a new feature currently called "Extensions" which would allow AI chatbot apps downloaded from the App Store to connect with Siri. Apple already collects payment processing fees when users sign up for ChatGPT's paid tiers through its billing system, and the new arrangement would expand that model across every competing AI service on the platform, Bloomberg noted.

What Apple's Reported Extensions Feature Would Do

Right now, Siri can only route queries to ChatGPT, and only when users explicitly ask for it by name. Extensions would change that by letting users choose from any AI chatbot they have installed on their device, selecting their preferred service at the point of asking, rather than Siri defaulting to one provider.
