After rounds of delays, Siri AI arrived in the consumer beta build of iOS 27, launched in July. The AI assistant now does what Apple promised: it understands your personal context, taps into broad world knowledge to answer your questions, and surfaces relevant information stored on your iPhone.
And yet, the arrival feels somewhat anticlimatic. Apple finally has a functional — actually, a fairly impressive — AI assistant, but it’s arrived past the time where such a launch feels novel and exciting.
