Apple Intelligence makes Siri useful, thanks to some changes.
Chances are you've asked it to play a song or set an alarm, only to have it search the web for your request. If you haven't been a fan of Siri for a while, iOS 27 might change your mind.
The original Siri was limited: it could only respond to commands it had been programmed to handle. Play a song, create a timer, set an alarm — tasks like that. As far as personal context, it could only take actions like calling a specific contacting or start a route, but it never understood the full context.
The new Siri AI has what Apple calls "personal context understanding". Once you install iOS 27, you may notice a notification in the Settings app about "Optimize Search and Siri." The process takes a while to complete, but it's essential for Siri AI to work.
With this knowledge about what's on your phone, Siri becomes much more powerful and smart.
Instead of having to search through your emails for the hotel's address, just ask Siri.
Not everyone can use Siri AI. Beyond updating your Apple devices to Platform 27, your device also has to support Apple Intelligence.
