Apple hides third-party Siri Extensions in iOS 27 beta

A report from The Next Web says the iOS 27 developer beta contains a dormant Extensions framework that would let users select a third-party AI provider -- including Claude, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini -- inside Siri, complete with a settings panel and a dedicated App Store section. The feature appears disabled on Apple's backend and was not announced during the WWDC 2026 keynote. The Next Web, citing Bloomberg, reports Apple has held entitlement discussions with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google but has not publicly committed to a multi-provider launch. Two factors appear to have delayed the announcement: Apple confirmed at WWDC that Siri AI will not ship in the EU due to ongoing Digital Markets Act negotiations, and Bloomberg has reported that OpenAI is exploring legal options over its existing Siri partnership, including a possible breach-of-contract notice.
