Summary
- iOS 27 features a redesigned Siri AI personal assistant.
- New Siri AI is in beta and requires user opt-in, possibly a waitlist.
- Siri AI uses large language models for local data and web searches.
Apple has launched iOS 27, featuring a revamped Siri AI personal assistant. This advanced Siri is currently in beta, requiring users to actively opt-in, with potential waitlist sign-ups for access. The company aims to make Siri truly personal, as stated by CEO John Ternus.
Positioned as an AI-ready device, the upcoming iPhone 18 models benefit from swift processors and on-device personal data. Siri AI utilizes large language models to analyze local information like messages and calendars, facilitating tasks such as finding addresses or recipes, alongside general web searches.
Initially available in English, Siri AI will expand to French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish next month. However, due to regulatory concerns, it will not be available in the EU or China at launch. Apple plans to introduce daily usage limits for certain cloud-reliant features, with expanded access available for a future fee.
