Apple has officially launched iOS 27 during its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2026, introducing a major upgrade to Siri powered by Google's Gemini AI. The new Siri leverages Gemini's advanced language models to provide more natural, context-aware responses and deeper integration with third-party apps.
In addition to the improved Siri, Apple unveiled Apple Intelligence 2.0, a suite of AI-driven features that enhance productivity and creativity across the iPhone ecosystem. Among the highlights is the introduction of AI Extensions, which for the first time brings Anthropic's Claude AI assistant to iPhone users, allowing them to access Claude's capabilities directly within iOS.
These updates represent a significant step in Apple's AI strategy, blending on-device processing with cloud-based AI models to deliver a more intelligent and personalized user experience. Developers can now build apps that tap into Siri's new capabilities and integrate with the AI Extensions framework.
