Apple has a habit of showing up late to the tech party and still being the best-dressed. It might do it again with the new Siri in iOS 27 this fall.<\/p>\n

Right now, Siri is bad \u2014 and that’s not a harsh take. Ali has ChatGPT pinned to his iPhone’s home screen. I have Gemini in a prime spot for quick access to a genuinely useful AI assistant.<\/p>\n

These are the habits Apple is up against. But I’m using Gemini less after a few days of test-driving the first iOS 27 beta and years of dunking on Siri. It turns out Siri’s new intelligence is based on Gemini models.<\/p>\n

One nice update is that Siri AI (as Apple calls it) indexes your phone to capture details from texts, emails, notes, and calendar events. I got answers to queries like “when’s my next personal training session?” and “by when do I have to cancel the hotel reservation for a refund?” Siri could fish out the answers to my somewhat vague prompts.<\/p>\n

It’s convenient to have a dedicated Siri app, too. I find its responses less flattering and more concise than those of other LLMs.<\/p>\n

At long last, Siri impressively draws on real-world knowledge. While watching the Knicks parade, I showed Siri a photo and played dumb. It knew exactly what was happening and why. It also gave me helpful commuting tips when I asked, pulling from relevant local news sources.<\/p>\n

Siri is not yet excellent. It still sometimes misunderstands my non-American accent (Gemini usually doesn’t). And I can’t get Siri to answer activity-related questions because it needs access to my Health app (it has access).<\/p>\n

This is, of course, a first beta experience. But my hunch is that come this fall, when the masses get access, Siri will be at least better than bad.<\/p>\n
