Surprisingly, Apple has announced a radical expansion of Siri AI’s capabilities. In the future, every iPhone app will be able to connect to the AI system: Siri AI will then be able to operate apps, perform functions in multiple steps, and work across app boundaries. Developers can already test this in the iOS 27.3 beta; the first apps with Siri integration are expected to follow for iPhone users in spring 2027. Apple CEO John Ternus recently emphasized that agentic capabilities are “promising tools”—the architecture of Siri AI offers room to develop such capabilities in the future.
In Episode 135, Malte Kirchner and Leo Becker shed light on what Siri AI can currently do and how the AI system is expected to work in the future. We discuss the extensive personal data that Apple’s operating systems collect for this purpose—from social contacts and family relationships to communication patterns—and the implications of such datasets. We also talk about initial experiences with an Apple Watch that is constantly listening in and Siri’s summaries of one’s own conversations.
