Engadget Podcast hosts Devindra Hardawar and Nathan Ingraham dive into Apple's public betas for iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate, and other new software releases this week. They share early thoughts on Siri AI features and performance improvements across the updated operating systems.

The hosts find Siri AI genuinely useful and potentially less intrusive than Microsoft's Copilot implementation. They also explore the rumors surrounding OpenAI's first hardware product — a reportedly "humanlike" portable speaker — and Apple's sharp criticism calling OpenAI's hardware business "rotten to the core."

The episode covers additional topics including reviews around Engadget and pop culture picks. Produced by Ryan Fernandez with music by Dale North, this episode offers a comprehensive look at Apple's latest AI integrations and the emerging competitive landscape in AI hardware.
