Apple is testing a standalone app for its overhauled Siri by Andrew Liszewski

Apple’s efforts to rebuild its Apple Intelligence AI platform will make its debut at its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 8th. A new version of Siri that transforms the voice assistant into a “systemwide AI agent with deep integration across applications” will be announced at WWDC 2026, according to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

But why? The only way this would make sense is if Apple as the platform owner does not give the same access to other apps.

I’m not sure if they can build a better app.
