Summary
Monday’s iOS 27 launch brought Siri AI into beta as a standalone app, and early reviewers said Apple’s overhauled assistant now performs closer to ChatGPT and Claude than the old Siri.
TechCrunch said it handles complex requests and works better in the Camera app, while Wirecutter praised its ability to dig links and details out of messages and emails.
iOS 27 also drew favorable reviews for more adjustable Liquid Glass transparency, stronger child-safety protections and a more intuitive Safari experience.
The Wall Street Journal said Siri is finally living up to the hype from its 2024 unveiling, though it still falls short of Apple’s broader vision for the iPhone as an “intelligent personal hub.”
