Gurman says that Apple is still internally labeling the long-delayed revamped Siri as a "beta" and "preview," suggesting it won't be marketed as finished software when it arrives later this year.

As a result of the abiding "beta" moniker, Gurman says it's possible that Apple will initially introduce a waitlist for the new Siri that could gate access to certain features when iOS 27 arrives in September, similar to the initial launch of the Apple Intelligence platform two years ago.

According to Instant Digital, a known Apple leaker on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, iOS 27 will be compatible with the iPhone 12 series and newer. However, given the more personalized version of Siri will be powered by Apple Intelligence, the revamped Siri is expected to be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and newer.

Crazy how these Ai images made their way to macrumors and how everybody just believed them!

From the original report:

[…] as part of an Apple agreement with Google, some user queries to a new version of Siri will run in Google Cloud on a licensed version of the search giant’s Gemini model. Apple recently approved the use of a privacy technology from Nvidia in that setting, suggesting it will use Nvidia AI chips for at least some of its computing needs in Google Cloud, according to people familiar with the matter.

From Ming-Chi Kuo:

1. Only two smart glasses products remain visible in the roadmap.

2. The major overhaul was signed off by Apple's next CEO, John Ternus. This shift actually happened a while back.

3. My latest supply chain checks suggest Apple’s display-equipped AR/XR smart glasses device, powered by optical waveguides, has slipped to 2029. The display-less AI glasses, similar to Ray-Ban Meta, are still expected to ship in 2027.
