With iOS 27, I’m actually using Siri again
For years, I barely used Siri for anything beyond menial tasks like setting timers or alarms. That has changed with iOS 27, as I now go back to Siri for complex requests and to make sense of on-screen context again and again. While Siri is clearly front and center in this software update by Apple, I also enjoy many of the other quality-of-life updates.

Siri I have been using iOS 27 on my main device since the public beta version was released, and on another device through the developer beta before that. I have really enjoyed using the new Siri, often trying to find new use cases for it — and that’s possibly the biggest win for Apple, given that I, like many people, had given up on Siri befor this update.
