Apple does not want to be ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. While OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google compete to build the best model, Apple is betting on being the platform where they all run. Why this is a different strategy.

Xcode 27 natively integrates Claude, Codex, and Gemini, adds plugins with Skills, Tools, and Agents, and introduces a Device Hub for agents. Apple's bet against Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot.

Core AI for running models on-device, Foundation Models opened to Claude and Gemini, and the deprecation of SiriKit: the WWDC 2026 updates that change how people building apps on Apple platforms work.

Clean Up stopped embarrassing itself, Spatial Reframing changes the angle of a photo, and Extend expands the frame: the new editing tools in Photos on iOS 27.

Beyond Siri: generative editing in Photos, Image Playground, Visual Intelligence across the ecosystem, and everything Apple Intelligence adds in iOS 27. What you need and where it is not available.

Apple blocked Siri AI on iPhone and iPad in the European Union because of the DMA. For LATAM, the limitation is not regulatory but linguistic: it starts in English, and Spanish has no date yet.

The new Siri rebuilt from the ground up: what it can do, which devices it comes to, and what hardware you need to take advantage of it. Requirements table included.
