Apple Opens Siri to Third-Party AI Rivals in iOS 27

Apple's decision to open Siri to third-party AI chatbots represents a significant strategic shift, allowing users to choose between services like Claude, Gemini, and others. This move signals Apple's recognition that it cannot dominate the AI space alone and must partner with established leaders rather than compete directly. The new 'Extensions' feature gives users flexibility while reducing Apple's dependence on any single AI vendor, reshaping how consumer devices approach AI integration.
