Apple Plans to Bring Autonomous Capabilities to Siri AI, Overhaul iOS 28 Approach: Report

Apple plans to turn Siri AI into an autonomous agent that will be able to take more actions on a user's behalf. The iPhone maker reportedly wants to bring similar capabilities to the AI assistant as OpenAI’s Dots, Meta’s Muse, and Grok from Elon Musk’s SpaceXSI. OpenAI, Meta, and AI labs position their respective AI agents as an “AI companion” that can run in the background and take actions for the user when required. Users can also hand over tasks, allowing the AI agents to do repetitive and monotonous tasks for the user. Apart from this, the report highlights that Apple has overhauled its development strategy for its next-generation iOS and iPadOS updates. The company has split its OS development into three stages, namely M1, M2, and M3, with each stage spanning eight weeks. The M1 stage is divided into two four-week sprints. However, the tech giant has reportedly asked its software engineers to code, explore, and develop features for six weeks for the iOS 28 update and to converge for two weeks at the M1 stage.
