Claim

Apple's iOS 27 will let users swap third-party models in and out of Apple Intelligence from the settings app, treating intelligence itself like a default browser, after a $250 million settlement over the gap between marketing and reality, while Meta builds a personal agent for its billions of users and OpenAI fast-tracks an agent phone.
