Apple plans third-party AI model selection in iOS 27
Summary

Apple will allow users to choose preferred AI models for Apple Intelligence in iOS 27, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The change would let third-party chatbot providers integrate directly into Apple's operating system.

Our take

Financial firms using Apple devices for client interactions face new vendor risk complexity. Each AI model choice creates separate data flow, training source, and liability considerations that current BYOD policies don't address.

What this means for practitioners

Chief Risk Officers should inventory Apple device usage across client-facing roles. Update vendor risk assessments to include third-party AI models accessible through iOS before the iOS 27 rollout.
