What to know

  • Apple released iOS 27 with a new standalone Siri app—the first time Siri is pre-installed as a dedicated application on iPhone.
  • The app includes a chat interface, iCloud sync across devices, screen recognition, and integration with Apple Intelligence for personal context access.
  • Availability is limited to iPhone 15 Pro and newer devices; the app also rolls out to Mac, iPad, Vision Pro, and Apple Watch in their respective OS versions.
  • Early reviews highlight practical improvements: natural language shortcut creation, on-screen context reading for calendar events, and persistent conversation threading.

“If you're looking at an email with flight times, a group chat about dinner, or a website with concert dates, you just activate Siri and say 'Add this to my calendar'.”
