With the iOS 27 update, Apple released a revamped Siri AI. The current version of Siri AI is capable of doing tasks like drafting emails and messages, setting up reminders and managing calendars.
Recently, the company released the iOS 27.3 Beta 1 update, and this update adds various new actions for Siri across Calendar, Files, Journal, Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, Notes, Photos, Preview, Reminders, Safari, Shortcuts, and Weather.
Now, according to a new report by Bloomberg, Apple is planning to transform Siri into an autonomous agent that can get things done for users.
Siri AI could soon turn into an autonomous agent
Reportedly, Apple could bring similar capabilities to Siri AI assistant as OpenAI’s Dots, Meta’s Muse and SpaceX’s Grok. It is said that the new Siri AI capabilities could be released as soon as next year.
The new capabilities are said to allow iPhone, Mac, and iPad users to hand off tasks to the AI Assistant. This means Apple users could soon hand over tasks, allowing the AI Assistant to do repetitive and monotonous tasks for the user. The assistant could also monitor different apps and platforms for users to alert them to any changes.
In related news, the report also mentions that Apple has shaken up its development strategy for iOS 28. The company has reportedly asked its software engineers to code, explore, and develop features for six weeks for the iOS 28 update and to converge for two weeks at the M1 stage.
Usually, Apple splits its OS development into three stages (M1, M2, M3), with each stage spanning eight weeks, and the M1 stage is divided into two four-week sprints.
