What happened
TechCrunch's Ivan Mehta reports that iOS 27 finally ships the overhauled Siri, now built on Google's Gemini models rather than the previous shaky ChatGPT integration. Siri can handle multi-step requests, read on-screen context, and pull from files, messages, and email to draft and send messages or compile notes.
Why it matters
If you ship iOS apps or build AI agents, Siri now has cross-app context access (files, messages, email) and multi-step execution on Gemini — worth testing whether your app's data is surfaced correctly and whether Siri's agent capabilities create new integration or competition angles for your product.
Discussion angle
Siri switching from ChatGPT to Gemini as its backbone is a notable platform shift — what does it mean for developers who built around Apple Intelligence APIs expecting OpenAI compatibility, and does cross-app context access raise privacy or data-handling questions for Malaysian users under PDPA?
