Siri is getting a bunch of AI features powered by the latest version of Apple Intelligence, which Apple worked with Google to build<\/a>. Apple is calling the upgraded voice assistant Siri AI, offering the ability to have back-and-forth conversations \u201cwith detailed and engaging answers,\u201d Apple AI head Mike Rockwell said during the keynote.<\/p>\n

In addition to offering image editing and writing tools, Siri AI also uses onscreen awareness to pull context from what\u2019s on your screen to answer questions. Apple is also launching a standalone Siri AI app, where you can access your conversation history. Siri AI will roll out across Apple\u2019s devices, including the iPhone, iPad<\/a>, Apple Watch<\/a>, and Apple Vision Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a new opacity slider for Apple\u2019s polarizing Liquid Glass design. Apple says iOS 27 will be supported by the iPhone 11 and up.<\/p>\n
