The new Siri app brings wide world knowledge from Google’s Gemini and does all the things you’d expect, like carry natural language conversations, answer specific questions and do a web search. It can also scan your messages, emails, pictures «and more,» Apple says.
The feature can be invoked by swiping down from the Dynamic Island or by traditional methods, lies «on top» of the OS, understands «personal context» and has «on-screen awareness,» meaning it can read your app screens.
Also from the systemwide Apple Intelligence, iOS/macOS 27 gains enhancements in the camera app and writing tools, as well as a slew of handy AI features across Safari, Messages, Mail, Calendar and Phone apps.
The tool is English-only, requires an iPhone 15 Pro or later and is not available in the EU or China at launch «later» this year.
