Joanna Stern, formerly of The Wall Street Journal, spent a week testing iOS 27’s new Siri in a variety of ways. Her new video offers a great overview of the strengths and shortcomings of Siri AI in the current beta.
If you’re interested to know how the new Siri AI in iOS 27 performs, Joanna Stern has posted a new video that offers a great hands-on look.
The “Is Siri finally good?” title is answered strongly in the affirmative by Stern in her post on X:
A couple impressive examples from her video involve Siri’s new ‘Personal context’ features.
On a trip to the beach, Stern asks Siri: ”I’d like to get some souvenirs for the kids. Based on what you know about them, what should I get them here?”
Siri’s highly personalized and informed response prompted this follow-up: ”Siri that’s pretty dead-on. How did you know that information about my kids?” The answer: it was based on information in the Messages app.
Similarly, another example involved Siri pulling data from Stern’s calendar, Messages app, and even voicemail. Armed with that information, Siri helpfully provided suggestions of what Stern could work on that day.
These two scenarios show Siri AI’s unique advantages thanks to a wealth of on-device data. “AI is only as good as the data it has. And oh boy, does Apple have a lot of mine. I’m even considering switching to Apple Mail, and that says a lot.”
