Apple plans to make Siri more agentic to track goals and handle ongoing tasks, with third-party app control expected in Spring.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple is under CEO pressure to speed up Siri development to compete with rivals. Siri will gain fine-grained control over first-party apps like Photos and Safari in iOS 27.3. Integration with third-party services such as Grubhub and OpenTable is expected later in Spring, with further agentic capabilities possibly arriving next year.
