Apple eases access to updated Siri AI
Apple is streamlining access to its redesigned Siri artificial intelligence. The waitlist previously required to use the updated assistant is now only in place during times of peak usage.
This change signals Apple’s growing confidence in its new AI capabilities, which aim to provide a more context-aware and helpful user experience. The updated Siri can now leverage information from apps like iMessage, Calendar, Mail, and Photos to assist with tasks such as locating flight details or identifying items displayed on a device.
Apple announced the new Siri AI in June at its Worldwide Developers Conference. Users can now expect automatic downloads for eligible devices upon opting in, as detailed in an updated blog post released Monday.
Previously, users faced wait times ranging from several hours to a couple of days to gain access. The company now reserves the waitlist for periods of “high demand.”
“With Siri AI, we really have the Siri that we always wanted,” stated John Ternus, the company’s CEO, during Monday’s earnings call. He added that the system’s architecture allows for future expansion of its functionalities.
The feature remains in beta and requires a device compatible with Apple Intelligence, specifically iPhone 15 Pro or later models.
