Siri AI Beta: 7 New Features & What to Try Now

Apple has launched the first public beta of iOS 27, introducing a new, smarter Siri. This updated Siri, now called Siri AI, is available as both a standalone app and integrated features within other apps. Here's the thing: The new Siri AI is designed to be more capable. You can now use Siri as a chat app, similar to other AI models, and ask it more complex questions, including those referencing your personal emails, notes, and events. What's interesting is Siri AI also includes "Visual Intelligence." You can ask Siri about content on your screen, like a video you're watching, or use the Camera app to point your lens at real-world objects and get information. The "Image Playground" feature has also improved, allowing for the generation of more realistic images. The bottom line: While these new features are not available in Europe or China due to regulatory issues, they offer users significantly enhanced ways to interact with their devices and access information.
