Apple wants Siri to track your goals, work out what needs to happen next and keep completing tasks without a new instruction at every step, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Gurman says the change could start as early as next year, but Apple hasn’t announced it. It would go further than the Siri AI upgrades already arriving in the iOS 27.3 beta, which let apps plug into Siri.
| Detail | Status |
| Report | Gurman, Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter, November 8 |
| Goal | Siri that tracks goals and acts on its own |
| Possible timing | As early as 2027, not confirmed |
| Software base | Reportedly Apple’s App Intents framework |
| iOS 28 | No agent feature confirmed |
| Devices and features | Not announced |
Today’s Siri mostly answers one request at a time. An agent would take a bigger goal, such as planning a trip, and chain together the steps, reminders and follow-ups across apps with fewer confirmations. Gurman compares the idea with OpenAI’s Dots, Meta’s Muse and Grok, which are built to keep working toward a goal in the background. Those products show the direction Apple is reportedly chasing, not what Siri will do. The report also says Apple plans to build this on App Intents, the framework apps already use to expose actions to Siri, instead of leaning mainly on remote virtual machines, which could cut latency and compute costs.
The near-term upgrades are separate. Apple announced on November 3 that developers can start connecting their apps to Siri AI through a developer preview in iOS 27.3. Reports say Siri could organize Safari tabs, edit messages and take several actions in Photos, with support in Apple’s own apps possibly arriving as early as December and deeper third-party integration perhaps next spring. Those are reports too, and Apple hasn’t published a feature list.
One more detail concerns how Apple builds software. For the first iOS 28 milestone, Apple reportedly changed the schedule to six weeks of exploration and coding followed by two weeks of integration, instead of four weeks of each. The total stays at eight weeks, and the aim is to give engineers more room before features are merged. We couldn’t confirm the reaction of Apple’s engineers to the change.
The 2027 date is Gurman’s expectation, not a commitment, and it isn’t tied to iOS 28 or any iPhone. Since iOS 27.2 added five new Siri AI languages, Apple has been widening Siri AI step by step, so an agent-style Siri would be the next stage. Supported devices, features and the final release timing are all unknown.
