## Summary

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, as reported by The Verge, CEO John Ternus is pressuring Craig Federighi to accelerate Siri’s AI roadmap and build an agent that can compete with OpenAI’s Dots and Meta’s Muse. Apple is preparing an update that would give the assistant more detailed control over its own apps, such as cropping and rotating images in Photos and organizing Safari tabs; those features are expected in iOS 27.3.

Integration with third-party apps is expected later, in the spring, enabling actions such as placing orders through Grubhub or booking restaurants through OpenTable. Gurman also says Apple wants Siri to track goals and carry out multistep tasks without the user initiating every step—an evolution that could arrive as early as next year.

## Why it matters (editorial interpretation)

The shift could turn Siri from a reactive assistant into a tool capable of carrying out multistep tasks, but the timeline and features described are based on information attributed to Mark Gurman. Later integration with third-party apps could also broaden the practical reach of those actions.
