Apple races to make Siri more agentic, third-party app integration slips to spring

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple 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.
- Two upgrades are expected in coming months: fine-grained control over Apple's first-party apps (e.g., cropping/rotating photos, organizing Safari tabs), likely with iOS 27.3.
- The bigger change, third-party app integration (e.g., ordering via Grubhub or booking through OpenTable), is expected later in the spring.
- Apple also wants Siri to become more agentic, tracking goals and pursuing objectives without the user initiating every step.
