US Stock Investment Network learned that Apple will introduce a new mechanism called "Extensions" in iOS 27, allowing third-party AIs like Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude to directly integrate with Siri, just like apps.

At the same time, Apple also advanced a broader Siri restructuring plan this week, including launching a standalone Siri app, a new Siri interface, deep integration between Siri and Spotlight search, and new native system-level entry points like "Ask Siri" and "Write with Siri".

Apple's actual moves are: on one hand, through the Extensions mechanism, turning Gemini into an "ordinary plugin" on par with ChatGPT, significantly diluting Google's bargaining power; on the other hand, retaining access to Gemini's model weights, essentially leveraging Google's technological accumulation to secretly improve its own system's native AI foundation.
