Early users report five kinds of problems with the new Siri AI
Siri AI, Apple's rebuilt assistant in iOS 27, is rolling out through a waitlist and is labelled beta. 9to5Mac rounded up the complaints: vague network errors, failing to find lists or alarms it should see, needing the phone unlocked for many requests, slow replies, especially on Apple Watch, and some old Siri features missing.
- If staff use Siri for work reminders or messages, check it still finds the right lists after the update.
- Keep a fallback for anything time-critical, such as a timer or reminder set by hand, until the beta settles.
