Apple disables Siri AI waitlist in iOS 27, with one exception - 9to5M…

Apple has updated its support document to say that iOS 27 no longer uses a waitlist to enable Siri AI access, except during “high demand” times. The document previously said that enabling Siri AI would add users to a waitlist and that wait times can vary, with Siri AI beginning to download automatically when the wait was complete. It now says Siri AI will begin to download automatically, and that during times of high demand users might be added to a waitlist first, with wait times varying. According to the article, a waitlist was used initially upon iOS 27’s release because Apple needed to slowly grant access while gauging server performance, and now that it is nearly two months into the iOS 27 rollout, Apple is only deploying the waitlist occasionally as needed.
