Apple is racing to make Siri more agentic

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that CEO John Ternus is pressuring AI chief Craig Federighi to accelerate the Siri roadmap and deliver an AI agent that can compete with OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse. Siri is expected to gain fine-grained control over Apple's first-party apps with iOS 27.3, followed by third-party app integration in the spring, letting it place orders through Grubhub or book reservations through OpenTable. Gurman says Apple ultimately wants Siri to handle ongoing tasks rather than one-offs, and could make it more agent-like as early as next year.
