Siri has never been the smartest virtual assistant, but what is especially disappointing is how it has refused to evolve despite Apple's aggressive push for Apple Intelligence.
Key facts
- If you own an iPhone 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max or the iPhone Air, Siri AI will be able to take advantage of an even more powerful on-device model
- The 2024 iPad mini is also supported since it uses the same SoC as the iPhone 15 Pro
- The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and rumored iPhone Fold will also enjoy powerful on-device AI models, but it's uncertain if the base model iPhone 18 will too
- Fortunately, compatibility with iOS 27 should not be a cause of concern, given how Apple is extending support all the way back to the iPhone 11
Summary
Only devices compatible with Apple Intelligence will be receiving Siri AI later this year. Interestingly enough, Apple says the new assistant will initially be released as a beta. Siri is now better equipped to handle personal requests, it understands context and can reference information from your notes, messages, emails and photos. If you own an iPhone 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max or the iPhone Air, Siri AI will be able to take advantage of an even more powerful on-device model.
