Apple’s major software updates are now available, rolling out across iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and other platforms. The updates introduce Siri AI, the next generation of Apple Intelligence, plus powerful parental controls and software improvements.

Siri AI is a more intelligent, conversational assistant with personal context understanding, broad world knowledge, onscreen awareness, and systemwide app actions. It is rolling out as a beta in English, with French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish coming in October.

Siri AI understands personal context across messages, emails, and photos. It can answer questions about onscreen content or fetch up-to-date web information. Siri is integrated into the Camera app on iPhone with Siri mode, allowing users to act on what’s in front of them, like splitting a bill and paying friends with Apple Cash, or adding a custom pass to Wallet.

With Visual Intelligence, users on iPhone, iPad, or Mac can ask Siri about what they’re looking at onscreen. Apple Vision Pro users can search and take action by looking at their surroundings and asking Siri. Write with Siri helps generate drafts or refine writing. A dedicated Siri app uses iCloud to privately sync conversational history across products.
