Apple may let users choose Claude or ChatGPT instead of Siri

New findings in the iOS 27 and macOS 27 code suggest Apple may soon allow users to replace Siri’s AI with third-party models like Claude or ChatGPT. Developer PDFU discovered hidden options indicating that some users will be able to select an alternative AI assistant directly within the system settings. A demo video shows Claude being chosen as the active assistant, although the feature is not yet enabled. This aligns with earlier user sentiment, where a large majority supported the idea of choosing their preferred AI model. Apple has historically resisted such openness due to privacy and security concerns, making this discovery notable. Analysts at 9to5Mac argue that offering AI choice would benefit both users and Apple by increasing competition and accelerating Siri’s improvement. However, the feature may initially be limited to the EU due to regulatory pressure. A poll invites users to share whether they would switch away from Siri if given the option.
