Apple CEO Tim Cook introduced iOS 27 and the "Apple Intelligence" platform at the 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference [1]. The update includes a significant overhaul of Siri, which now utilizes Google's Gemini model to enhance its reasoning and performance [1][2].
The new system focuses on cross-app actions while maintaining strict user privacy protocols [1][3]. These features represent a strategic shift for Apple as it integrates third-party artificial intelligence models to power core mobile services [2].
This announcement occurred during what is described as one of the final major developer conferences led by Cook [2]. The updates aim to streamline device interactions through advanced automation and personalized data processing [3].
