Apple’s major Siri overhaul will be unveiled on June 8, and the company is reportedly already working with developers to get apps integrated, but it’s facing concerns over a key point: money.
Apple courting developers to support new Siri, but some are worried about a future commission
Today The Information published a report that says Apple is working to better incorporate AI agents on the App Store. An announcement on this front might be coming at WWDC.
But the report also highlights Apple’s efforts to court developers to support its new Siri in iOS 27.

It’s not surprising that Apple is working with developers in advance of WWDC to get their buy-in with Siri’s new capabilities.
However, it’s interesting that Apple reportedly told some prominent developers it “hasn’t ruled out” introducing a commission on Siri integration in the future.
It’s unclear exactly what such a fee structure might look like.
Presumably, the Siri integration being discussed is the app intents feature Apple previously announced for Siri, but never shipped. App intents will give Siri the ability to perform hundreds of new in-app and cross-app actions without users needing to open those apps.
But if that’s all that’s being discussed, it’s hard to see how any sort of fee might come into play in the future. So perhaps there’s more to the Siri developer story than we’ve heard so far.
