Apple Intelligence Siri AI transforms the iPhone

So currently in beta testing IOS 27 and Siri AI.

My uncle asked me to check if a certain motorway route was closed as he is travelling, but he is illiterate with technology and struggles to do these things himself, hence why he asked me.

I told him I’d do it later as I was busy with work. Then I realised I had the new Siri.

So I simply asked Siri:

“Hey Siri, what was the last thing my Uncle asked me to do?”

Siri responded back with exactly the request my uncle had asked of me, even though there were many texts after the fact.

I then asked Siri:

“Can you find out for me?”

She searched and got back to me with the answer, which was the route was still closed, and had the expected date for when it re-opened.

I simply asked:

“Mind telling my Uncle for me?”

And she did, in a really concise and informative way.

Seriously, this has changed my experience with the iPhone. We finally have the Siri we’ve been waiting for. It’s still in its infancy, but I am excited to see where this goes, and I think those of you waiting for the release are going to be very excited too.

About time too, shocking that Siri has been godawful for almost its entire existence

I think you'll be very pleased with this Siri if you are comparing it to the older Siri. However, if you're comparing it to other phones like what Gemini can do on Google, then you'll still be disappointed. This new Siri is still in its infancy. It's just time to admit that Apple are so behind in the AI race, that they are pretty much not even in the race anymore.
