Siri AI Rumored to Become 'More Like an Agent' as Early as Next Year

Siri AI is much more intelligent and personalized compared to classic Siri, but it is still not nearly as advanced as proactive, always-on agents like OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse. That may change, though, according to a new rumor. In his Power On newsletter today , Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said he was told that Apple could make Siri function "more like an agent" as early as next year. However, if this plan moves forward, the exact implementation remains to be seen. "Dots, Muse and Grok can keep track of goals, determine what needs to happen next and continue pursuing objectives without the user initiating every individual step," said Gurman. "Apple ultimately wants to go in this direction, I'm told, and I believe the company could make Siri more like an agent as early as next year." Apple's AI ambitions could go beyond making Siri more agentic. In a closed-door meeting in recent weeks, Gurman said that Apple CEO John Ternus told Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi that Apple needs to "accelerate" its software roadmap and "move quickly beyond merely making necessary improvements to Siri."

Apple Taking New Approach to Developing iOS 28 and macOS 28

Apple has made a change to its development process for iOS 28, macOS 28, and corresponding software updates, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman. In his Power On newsletter today , he said Apple separates development of each year's new operating systems into three major stages. Typically, he said each stage consists of four weeks of coding followed by a four-week "convergence" period where new features are integrated into the operating systems. This time around, Apple has made a change. The first stage of development for iOS 28 and the other updates apparently consisted of six weeks of coding and two weeks of feature convergence. This change gives Apple's software engineers more time to come up with new features. "Instead of the normal split between two four-week efforts, Apple engineers were tasked with six weeks of coding, exploration and feature development, and then only two weeks of convergence," he said. "Employees say they like the change, indicating that it creates more time for coming up with ideas and exploring them before needing to lock things in." Gurman did not reveal any specific features planned for iOS 28. The update should be available in beta in June and released in September next year.
