Apple plans to introduce a system called “Extensions” in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 this fall, allowing users to replace core Apple Intelligence features with third-party models. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, users can install compatible apps from the App Store and set providers like Google or Anthropic as their preferred AI for Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground. The OS will allow users to assign distinct voices to different AI models, and Apple is already testing these integrations internally.
