Apple is considering allowing users to fully replace Siri with third-party options as their default voice assistant on Apple devices.
This potential shift comes as Siri has faced challenges in competing with other AI assistants, leading Apple to consider regulatory requirements and user preferences.
Current limitations with Siri have prompted users to turn to rival chatbots like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, indicating a preference for alternatives.
Apple is working on developing a next-gen iteration of Siri, codenamed LLM Siri, slated for release within a year or two, along with new AI-powered features under the Apple Intelligence branding.
