Apple released iOS 27 on September 14 with Siri AI as the headline feature, but access is gated through a beta waitlist inside Settings, where users tap Siri and choose Try Siri AI (Beta). Apple says it will notify users when the feature is available, though there is no public queue and no explanation of how the list is ordered. Apple says Siri AI can use personal context, understand what's on screen, and take actions across apps. The waitlist only matters if a device qualifies: Apple Intelligence features, including the rebuilt Siri, require an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Siri AI launched in English first, with French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish promised next; those five languages have appeared in the first iOS 27.2 developer beta. Apple has blamed the Digital Markets Act for delaying Siri AI on iPhone and iPad in the EU, and Apple Intelligence and Siri AI remain unavailable in China.
