Announcement at a glance

Siri AI is an entirely new, profoundly more capable and conversational assistant, built on the next generation of Apple Intelligence. It combines personal context understanding, broad world knowledge, onscreen awareness, and systemwide app actions to help users get more done.

The 2027 software releases — iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27 — bring Apple Intelligence capabilities across Photos, Safari, Image Playground, Mail, and more, and set up Audio Intelligence and a redesigned Health app arriving later this year.

One system, privacy-first

Everything runs on a bold architecture built on the next-generation Apple Foundation Models, Private Cloud Compute, and on-device processing — with Gemini from Google in collaboration. Siri remains the world's most private digital assistant.

01 · The assistant

An entirely new Siri

Siri AI is a completely reimagined Siri that is more personal and powerful, with detailed responses and rich, natural conversations.

Capability

Personal context understanding

Find what you need in the moment across your messages, emails, photos, and more.

Capability

Capability

Systemwide app actions

Draft an email from scratch, edit and share photos, or act in the apps you already use.

Available everywhere across the system

Say “Hey Siri,” press the side button, or swipe down from the Dynamic Island on iPhone; use Spotlight and context menus on iPad and Mac; and on Apple Vision Pro, invoke Siri by looking at it and starting to speak — all backed by the all-new dedicated Siri app, which syncs conversation history across devices via iCloud.

02 · The foundation

A bold architecture, built privacy-first

The next generation of Apple Foundation Models runs on device and on servers using Private Cloud Compute, extending iPhone privacy and security into the cloud.

Foundation
