The new AI-ified Siri<\/a> is getting closer to ditching its waitlist.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Apple published an updated blog titled “How to get Siri AI,” where the tech company said the feature would automatically download for eligible users who opt in.<\/p>\n

Previously, Apple device users who wanted Siri AI would join a waitlist. Consumers reported that the queue lasted anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days.<\/p>\n

Apple now says it will use a waitlist only during periods of “high demand.”<\/p>\n

The update is a small but notable shift for Apple’s fresh AI bet \u2014 it shows that the company is getting more comfortable opening the gates to its more powerful Siri assistant.<\/p>\n

Siri AI, which was revealed in June at\u00a0Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference<\/a>, can draw on a user’s personal context across apps like iMessage, Calendar, Mail, and Photos to perform tasks such as quickly finding a flight number or identifying products\u00a0on a device’s screen. It also gets its own independent app.<\/p>\n

“With Siri AI, we really have the Siri that we always wanted,” John Ternus, the company’s new CEO, said during the company’s earnings call on Monday. “It is primarily request-based today, but as we talked about at WWDC, it is built on a modern, orchestrator-driven architecture that gives us real room to expand its capabilities over time.”<\/p>\n

The feature is still in beta and requires an Apple Intelligence-capable device. For iPhone users, that means they need an iPhone 15 Pro or later model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new AI-ified Siri is getting closer to ditching its waitlist.
