Apple today released the first beta versions of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, introducing a more capable version of Siri called ‌Siri‌ AI. Developers can download the beta versions and try ‌Siri‌, but there is a waiting list.
After updating to ‌iOS 27‌, developers will need to open the Settings app, navigate to the Apple Intelligence section, and join the waitlist to access ‌Siri‌.
It’s not yet clear how long the wait will last, but Apple used a similar waitlist when rolling out ‌Apple Intelligence‌ in iOS 18. It could take a few hours for some early developers to update to ‌iOS 27‌.
The new ‌Siri‌ and ‌Apple Intelligence‌ features that Apple introduced today are available on all devices that support ‌Apple Intelligence‌, but some on-device features will be limited to newer iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
The ‌Siri‌ AI is free, but Apple imposes daily limits on certain features such as image generation. Subscribing to an iCloud+ subscription plan increases the limits of AI. The ‌Siri‌ AI is limited to English and is not available in the European Union on iPhone or iPad, but EU users can try it on Mac. ‌Siri‌ AI is not available in China.
