Gurman Says Apple Aims for Agentic Siri as Soon as Next Year
Summary
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple aims to make Siri more of an agent as early as next year, able to pursue goals without step-by-step prompts. Apple shipped personalized Siri in iOS 27. For iOS 28, engineers get six weeks to code and two weeks to integrate, up from the usual four and four.
Key Points
- Mark Gurman writes that Apple has little choice on agentic Siri given current consumer and market demands.
- Apple's App Intents framework means Siri needs less computer-use capability, cutting the cost of some tasks, per the report.
- Apple calls the first iOS 28 development cycle the M1 milestone, and employees say the longer coding window leaves more room to explore ideas.
