Why it matters
- →Siri now functions as a genuinely useful AI assistant, meeting long-standing user expectations.
- →The update highlights Apple's use of Google's Gemini AI models to enhance its own AI capabilities.
- →Despite improvements, the update underscores how far behind Apple has fallen in the AI race.
Apple has launched a significantly improved version of Siri in the consumer beta build of iOS 27. The updated AI assistant can now understand personal context, engage in natural conversations, and perform tasks like finding photos or launching apps. Despite these advancements, the update feels anticlimactic as the AI landscape has evolved significantly, with more advanced AI tools now commonplace. While Siri now meets expectations, it feels more like a long-overdue fix than a groundbreaking innovation.
