Newsy

Apple's new CEO is pressing software chief Federighi on AI: Siri has to become an agent.

Siri can now see what's on the screen, uses personal data on the device and runs on models built on Google technology. The iOS 27.3 beta brought deep in-app actions: for Apple's own apps they may arrive as early as December, for third-party apps around spring.

But Apple still has no full agent that carries goals across conversations, like ChatGPT Dots, Meta Muse or Grok, and no computer use either.

According to Mark Gurman, Siri could become an agent as soon as next year.

Apple keeps a hidden "grey list" of ~100,000 words and phrases that the iPhone keyboard won't autocomplete and often won't let you swipe-type, among them swearing, sex, violence, drugs and phrases like "Sleepy Joe" and "Dictator Trump".

They can only be typed by hand.

Apple has warned iPhone users in 99 countries about a spyware attack.

In total, the notifications reached users in more than 150 countries, journalists among them. Not getting a notification does not rule out an infection.

Apple will hold a press event on October 28, where the company is expected to unveil new products, including a MacBook Pro with a touch-enabled OLED display, as well as models powered by the M6 chip: a 14-inch MacBook Pro and an iMac.

An iPad mini with an OLED display and an A20 Pro chip is also expected.

Important news: Apple may change the design of the Apple Music icon and app.
It was spotted in the iOS 27.2 beta.
