On March 27th, today, a journalist from Bloomberg, Mark Gurman, wrote:applePlan to open the iOS 27 system to third-party competitors Siri ACCESS PERMISSIONS TO RECREATE ITS SIDE AI ECOLOGY。
According to sources, Apple is developing a new system called Extensions. This feature will allow third-party AI chat robots installed through App Store (e. g. Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude) to be integrated in depth with Siri。
It is known that users are free to open or close all AI services in iOS 27, iPados 27 and macOS 27 settings and direct the request route to the specified external large model at the time of the order。
At present, Apple Intelligence is served by OpenAI's ChatGPT, and this adjustment means ChatGPT is no longer the only option for apples。
Gurman also mentioned that Apple had given a rare non-cyclical bonus this week to its iPhone hardware design team to prevent the loss of core talent to artificial start-ups such as OpenAI。
Apple reportedly awarded a special bonus to several members of the iPhone product design (PD) team. The bonus is in the form of a limited share (RSU) and is divided into four-year lines with a total value of approximately $200,000 to $400,000 after full staff rights。
At present, the OpenAI hardware department, managed by Tang Tan with the participation of the former Apple iPhone Product Design Manager, has recruited dozens of apple engineers who have been involved in iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Vision Pro。
Also, Apple's Mac Pro is officially laid off from Apple Officer's net。
According to Gurman, Mac Pro is currently out of production. It also suggests that apples actually suggested the fate of Mac Pro a month ago:
Mac Pro, a retail store and online channel, has been shut down
Production ceased Pro Display XDR and the new product was named Studio Display。
