Key Points:
- Siri AI, a major upgrade included in iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate, watchOS 27, and more, will launch publicly this fall but only on newer Apple devices.
- Supported iPhones include models from iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max through iPhone 17 Pro Max, including various "e" and Air versions, while iPads and Macs must have Apple silicon (M1 chip or later) to be compatible.
- Apple Watch models supporting Siri AI require pairing with a compatible iPhone and include Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 3 or later, with all Apple Vision Pro models also supported.
- Advanced Siri features like customizable voice pace and expressivity are limited to select newer devices, such as iPhone 17 Pro series, iPads with M4 chips and 12GB+ memory, Macs with M3 chips and 12GB+ memory, and Apple Vision Pro with M5 chip.
- The most powerful on-device AI model powering Siri AI is restricted to a subset of the latest hardware, though the exact effects on Siri's performance remain unclear.
