Apple accelerates Siri agent push, eyes third-party app control in 2027

KEY FACTS

Bloomberg's Gurman says Apple CEO Ternus has asked AI chief Federighi to speed up the Siri roadmap.
Siri will gain fine-grained control over Apple's first-party apps, expected to ship with iOS 27.3.
Siri's ability to work with third-party apps is expected next spring, enabling order placement and restaurant bookings.
Apple plans to give Siri the ability to carry out multi-step tasks continuously, at the earliest next year.
Apple internally acknowledges that Siri currently lags rivals such as OpenAI Dots and Meta Muse.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Siri's catch-up effort has shifted from "understanding" to "getting things done," but the two-step rollout means users won't get cross-app operation until next year. The real question is whether Apple opens up enough permissions; otherwise the agent is just a remote control inside its own apps and will struggle to compete head-on with Dots and Muse.
