Apple released Siri AI with enhanced capabilities on iOS 27, allowing users to ask natural questions about their data and interact with apps more deeply. It is the company's first major update to its voice assistant since its debut on the iPhone in 2011.
Apple reported no specific benchmark scores or parameter counts for Siri AI, measured on no particular benchmark or condition. That compares with no earlier figure, as the source does not provide one.
Siri AI is built on Apple's on-device processing and targets personalization and deeper app integration. Availability begins with iOS 27, initially for iPhone 15 Pro and later models.
"You'll notice when Siri AI arrives that it spends some time indexing everything on your iPhone," said David Nield. This indexing allows users to ask natural questions about their stored data.
The announcement follows Apple's efforts to compete with generative AI rivals like Google Assistant and ChatGPT. Apple's move is framed as an attempt to modernize its voice assistant and keep up with industry trends.
Apple did not say how much data Siri AI will index or how long it will take to process, and it raised the question of privacy concerns. The company said users can review all changes and make manual edits as needed.
