Apple Gives Siri AI Upgrade in iOS 27, Adding Personal Context Across 27 Operating Systems

Summary
iOS 27 makes Siri markedly more capable by tying Apple Intelligence to personal data such as messages, email, contacts and calendars, letting it answer context-heavy requests instead of generic queries.
That upgrade extends to practical tasks: Siri can retrieve a song link from a chat, surface weekly meetings, recommend restaurants from on-screen content, translate menus and pull specific photos or files.
Apple also adds generative features, including image extension in Photos and the ability to extract key data from documents on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Access is still constrained: Siri AI must be enabled and indexed first, rollout can take hours or longer, WhatsApp support is not yet updated, and the feature is not coming to the EU anytime soon.
