But no worries \u2014 some users on Reddit may have found a way to get yourself accepted fast.<\/p>\n
The Mac Terminal command no longer works Siri AI is an exciting step forward<\/a> for the assistant that has long been the butt of the joke<\/a>. With Apple Intelligence, it\u2019s smart, capable, understands you and can do more on your behalf. In my own testing<\/a>, it\u2019s really worth the wait.<\/p>\n Instead of sitting on the interminable waitlist, Mac users were copying and pasting a Terminal command<\/a> that instantly enabled the new Siri on their computers. It\u2019s a far more magical experience on the iPhone, but at least you could test it out.<\/p>\n But that is no more. With macOS 27 developer beta 2, released yesterday, the trick no longer works. Cult of Mac reader Erik MH says<\/a>, \u201cthe new Developer Beta update cut me off from New Siri: \u2018Joined waitlist,\u2019 just as with iOS and iPadOS. Re-trying this procedure has no effect.\u201d<\/p>\n Apple is essentially yelling at its users to get back in line.<\/p>\n \u2026but there might be another way in<\/p>\n Users on Reddit are reporting<\/a> another potential workaround \u2014 and it\u2019s actually even better. This may be a way to get yourself through the waitlist across all your devices, not just your Mac.<\/p>\n First, obviously, you update to iOS 27<\/a>. Apparently, after submitting some feedback<\/a>, it\u2019s possible that Apple will fast-track you through the waitlist. After all, Apple is looking for developers who can provide valuable feedback through the beta testing period.\u00a0Look for the\u00a0More button (\u22ef) across various other Apple Intelligence features and send in feedback. You might get the new Siri AI early.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t personally test it myself, since I was already accepted two weeks ago. If you try this out, you can comment below, send me a message via Mastodon<\/a> or write me an email<\/a> and let me know how it works out. <\/p>\n D.

<\/a>Try the command if you want, but it won\u2019t work.

\nGenerate some graphics with Image Playground<\/a>.
\nAfter generating an image, tap the\u00a0More button (\u22ef) in the upper right and tap Something Isn\u2019t Right to send in feedback. (I suggest giving Image Playground a prompt that would make it generate text, like a photo of a newspaper or book, so that you can submit valid feedback about it not looking right.)
\nAfter sending in multiple pieces of feedback, go back to\u00a0Settings > Siri and it may offer you the new Siri AI.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782323535_766_1cdcbb4a566ce956a5031cda07408d0024ce4570f488d98db96bd66e91c34e21.png\")
