Apple adds Siri AI with on-device context, visual queries, and text editing in iOS 27

Apple’s iOS 27 rollout introduces Siri AI, a generative assistant that runs entirely on‑device. The feature is limited to the newest iPhone models – the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later, including the iPhone 17 Pro series, iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone Air – because only those devices have the silicon needed for the higher AI workload.

Key points

  • Siri AI runs entirely on-device in iOS 27, available only on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.
  • New features include personal context search, visual understanding of screen and camera, and native text generation without third‑party plugins.
  • Apple launches a dedicated Siri app with conversation history, broad world knowledge, and customizable voice tone and expressivity.

Siri AI indexes a user’s texts, emails, calendars and media locally, letting users ask natural‑language questions like “When is my work appraisal?” or “Show me photos of my pet.” It can also see what’s on the screen or in the camera view, summarising web articles, identifying landmarks, or pulling nutritional info from a menu without a screenshot. Text generation is now native, replacing the previous ChatGPT plug‑in; users can draft, edit, and refine messages or emails directly through voice or typing. A new standalone Siri app stores conversation history, offers broader world knowledge, and lets users tweak Siri’s tone, speed and expressivity.

The updates deepen Apple’s AI ecosystem, give iPhone users a privacy‑first alternative to third‑party chatbots, and signal a shift toward on‑device generative assistants that can act more deeply inside native and third‑party apps.
