But one issue that many Siri users have long highlighted is the assistant\u2019s inconsistent features across different devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the way the old Siri was built, Siri on your iPhone had different capabilities than Siri on your Apple Watch, HomePod, Mac, Apple TV, and so on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that\u2019s no longer the case with Siri AI. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/health-fitness\/smartwatches\/its-the-most-convenient-way-to-interact-with-siri-i-asked-apples-senior-watchos-team-how-to-use-the-new-siri-ai-assistant-on-an-apple-watch-and-why-its-not-coming-to-so-many-older-models\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interview with TechRadar<\/a> that\u2019s focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/19\/watchos-27-drops-support-for-five-apple-watch-models-heres-why\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">why watchOS 27 drops support<\/a> for so many Apple Watch models, Apple\u2019s senior director of watchOS software engineering David Clark explains:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe really wanted to make sure the Siri experience is a singular and consistent experience, whether I decide to ask Siri on my wrist a question, or whether I have my phone in my hand and I decide to interact with Siri there. We really wanted to feel like it\u2019s one Siri, that has access to your data and is able to personalise it in a consistent way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clark\u2019s explanation perfectly articulates what I, and so many other Apple users, have wanted from Siri for years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple\u2019s ecosystem is generally a big strength for the company. It excels at making iPhones, iPads, Macs, AirPods, and the like all work together seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Siri has, until now, been a weak link in that ecosystem story. Because Siri\u2019s capabilities were fractured, trying to use the assistant across multiple Apple products could actually prove quite frustrating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now with Siri AI though, as long as you have <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/12\/siri-ai-is-coming-to-newer-apple-devices-only-heres-the-full-list\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">compatible hardware devices<\/a>, you should get the same Siri intelligence no matter which device you\u2019re using. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On that note, <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/04\/02\/apple-reportedly-has-four-new-products-ready-to-launch-pending-one-thing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bring on the new HomePods and Apple TV 4K<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Best iPhone accessories<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5mac.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1767826569_427_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/43xbZva\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1056443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1781945653_105_MSI-9to5Mac_750x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"150\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Siri AI is a major overhaul for Apple\u2019s assistant, and so far in the iOS 27 beta, it\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":640562,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-648655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/640562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
