Apple's Secret Plan to Replace Siri

Your iPhone is about to let you kick Siri to the curb for good. Leaked code in the iOS 27 developer beta reveals a secret framework called Extensions. It lets you swap Siri out for ChatGPT, Claude, or Google Gemini. Apple has already built a hidden settings panel to manage these AI assistants. There is even a dedicated App Store section ready to launch. Behind the scenes, Apple is negotiating with tech giants to integrate their AI directly into the operating system. They kept it quiet at WWDC to avoid antitrust trouble in Europe and keep the focus on Apple Intelligence. The famously closed iPhone ecosystem is cracking wide open. Soon, you get to choose who actually runs your phone.
