Apple opens its new Siri AI to everyone with the iOS 27 public beta
Apple has released its redesigned, AI-powered Siri to the general public through the iOS 27 public beta, marking the first time the overhauled assistant is available beyond developers. The new Siri can access device data such as emails, photos, and messages, respond to on-screen content, and answer general knowledge questions, functioning similarly to modern AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini. It features deeper system integration, including access via the Dynamic Island, Spotlight search, and a new standalone app, and is available across all Apple devices. Built on Apple Intelligence using proprietary Foundation Models developed in collaboration with Google's Gemini, the assistant processes data through Private Cloud Compute to protect user privacy. While early testing revealed occasional errors, the betas have been relatively stable, though Apple advises caution before installing, with the full public launch of iOS 27 expected in September.
