Apple plans to let users choose third-party AI models for generative tasks in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, per a Bloomberg report citing Mark Gurman. The feature, called Extensions, will let users access AI capabilities from installed apps via Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground. This marks a shift from Apple’s historically closed ecosystem, offering flexibility amid delays in developing its own AI model. Extensions will pull from App Store-approved AI tools, with ChatGPT already integrated.

Earlier reports suggested Apple’s AI chatbot would support model selection, aligning with this broader strategy. The move prioritizes user choice over competing with established AI platforms, signaling Apple’s cautious entry into the generative AI space.
