Apple's developer keynote is the single most consequential event on this scorecard's calendar. Apple enters with the widest gap between its assets (on-device silicon, personal context, distribution) and its assistant capability. The question is whether this is the year App Intents, a rebuilt Siri, and a real model strategy turn latent platform power into actual agent capability, or another year of catch-up.

What we're watching
  • Assistant Intelligence

    Does the rebuilt Siri close the reasoning gap, and what model powers it: in-house, partner (Gemini/Claude/GPT), or both?

  • Agent Capability

    Can Siri actually complete multi-step tasks across apps, or is it still single-shot assistance?

  • Cross-App Actions

    Does App Intents get the upgrade that turns it into a true cross-app action layer, the sleeping giant of this scorecard?

  • Developer APIs

    How far does the Foundation Models framework open up on-device and Private Cloud Compute inference to third-party developers?

  • Model Strategy

    Does Apple commit to a coherent model ladder, and does it concede frontier reasoning to a partner?

  • MyAGI Alignment

    Does Apple articulate anything resembling an agent operating system, with permissions, memory, and revocable execution across the device?

    Gemini becomes the brain of a billion iPhones

    The flip side of Apple’s concession is a landmark distribution win for Google. Gemini will power Siri’s frontier reasoning across Apple’s installed base, extending Gemini’s reach into the one large ecosystem Google could never touch, and reinforcing its position as the model everyone else builds on.

    Apple concedes the frontier: Siri’s hard reasoning runs on Google Gemini

    Apple confirmed that Siri’s most demanding reasoning is powered by Google’s Gemini models. Pragmatically it is the fastest route to a capable assistant, and precisely why it does NOT lift Apple’s Model Strategy grade. Renting frontier intelligence from a direct competitor is the clearest possible statement that Apple does not own its model destiny. Intelligence up (graded above); independence unchanged, so Model Strategy holds at 4.

    Siri gains personal context and acts across apps

    Siri can now pull in information from your phone (Messages, and deeper AI woven through Photos and Mail) and understand what apps can do. This finally activates the latent advantage that always separated Apple: the device already knows you. It is the clearest step yet toward real cross-app orchestration via App Intents, and the single most MyAGI-relevant thing Apple announced.

    Siri, rebuilt: conversational and “profoundly more capable”

    “Siri is now a profoundly more capable assistant, more conversational, so you can go back and forth like never before and get detailed, engaging answers.”

    The personal-context Siri Apple promised back in 2024 finally ships in iOS 27, with a new, customizable expressive voice and a major jump in system-wide dictation accuracy. It is the most consequential Siri change in a decade, though the real-world quality only proves out as iOS 27 reaches devices this fall, so we move the grades with a verification caveat rather than to the top of the field.
