Another change to Apple’s systems could allow users to choose their own version of AI using Apple Intelligence. According to BloombergMark Gurman, Apple plans to allow third-party chatbots to use its AI features in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, all expected this fall. In addition to run Siricompatible third-party AI models, called “Extensions,” will also be able to run other Apple Intelligence products such as Writing Tools and Image Playground.
