Apple exposes Siri to multiple AI models as investors consider valuation

• Apple plans to open up Siri to third-party AI assistants like Gemini and Claude, and end ChatGPT’s current exclusivity.
• This change aims to turn Siri into a universal entry point for multiple AI models across Apple devices.
• As part of this move, Apple also aims to route and monetize AI service subscriptions through the App Store.

For investors keeping an eye on NasdaqGS:AAPL, the news is that the stock is trading at around $248.8, and its long-term returns remain respectable, with increases of 53.1% over three years and 107.7% over five years. Over the past 30 days, the stock is down 9.3%, despite a one-year return of 14.7%, and year-to-date performance is down 8.2%.

This change in how Siri connects to third-party AI services could impact how users interact with Apple’s hardware and software in the coming years. As AI subscription and usage patterns evolve, how Apple integrates these services and potentially monetizes it across its installed base is likely to be an area for investors to watch.
