Everything New You Can Do With Siri AI
Apple is introducing 'Siri AI' in the upcoming iOS 27 update, which brings advanced on-device processing capabilities to newer iPhone models. The update allows the assistant to index personal data and analyze screen content to provide more context-aware assistance.
Why it matters
This marks a significant shift toward on-device AI, prioritizing user privacy while enhancing the utility of personal digital assistants.
With the launch of iOS 27, Apple and Siri are fighting back. There's a new name—Siri AI—and a host of new capabilities that are coming to your iPhone.
These are the new features that you'll be able to make use of once iOS 27 appears on your handset, if you're running the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max or later (including, of course, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo). Only these latest phones have the necessary on-board silicon to meet the higher AI processing demands.
Get More Personal Context
You'll notice when Siri AI arrives that it spends some time indexing everything on your iPhone. That's so it can dig deep into your texts, emails, calendars, and whatever else you have stored on your phone (everything is kept on-device though—nothing gets sent back to Apple).
