What’s new in Apple Intelligence in iOS 27

Let’s continue with the list of new features from Apple Intelligence and Siri AI that have been presented by Apple. We are going to tell you in summary so that you can see and understand them easily.

Apple Intelligence Architecture

• Apple Founding Models: Apple’s new AI models have been created in collaboration with Google. They take advantage of the technology behind the Gemini family of models by adapting it for use in local processing and on servers.
• Hybrid processing: Apple’s new AI will be able to work both locally on your device and in the cloud, using servers with Private Cloud Compute architecture to guarantee that the data you store is not accessible by Apple or third parties.
• Advanced local model: There will be a more powerful secondary version optimized for use locally on systems with the most capable Apple Silicon processors. This version will understand and generate speech, text and images with high precision.
• Multimodal and understands the context: The new Apple Intelligence is multimodal, that is, it understands text, image and video. You can also securely coordinate system capabilities through personal context, actions in applications (App Actions) and awareness of what is on the screen (On-screen awareness).
• Semantic Indexing: Integration with Spotlight to instantly search for old or new content locally on the device.

Siri AI

• New Siri: Siri is officially renamed Siri AI. The Apple assistant becomes an artificial intelligence assistant, and becomes powered by the new Apple Intelligence architecture.
• Coherent Conversational Experience: Allows you to have fluid conversations with Siri, speaking to her and receiving detailed responses. Interactions are saved privately and synchronized via iCloud in the new app.
• New dedicated Siri app: Siri has a new standalone app on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS to improve the way we interact with her.
• Visual Redesign: More fluid interface than on iOS allows you to swipe down from the Dynamic Island to write to you directly. In visionOS it is presented as a 3D visualization that can be placed anywhere in space and activated just by looking at it. On macOS you can also invoke it from context menus or Spotlight.
• Enhanced System Dictation: Great increase in keyboard precision, respecting spellings, punctuation and capitalization thanks to the integrated advanced model.
• Personality settings: Siri has a new, more natural and conversational voice. But you will also be able to customize it to adjust your personality, speed or type of voice.
• Integrated into the search engine: Siri is also integrated into the search engine. When you type a request, it will be detected as something for AI and Siri AI will respond.
• Visual Intelligence: There is a native Siri mode in the iOS camera app. It allows you to take a photo of what’s in front of you and get detailed information about whatever, ask for recipes, get nutritional information. You can even scan an account and split the payment.

Writing and Creativity Tools

• Siri in writing: Siri has the ability to generate texts from scratch in any app on your mobile or Mac, describing what you need in natural language. In Mail and Messages, adapt your tone by mimicking how you usually communicate with a specific contact.
• Automatic System Correction– Apple Intelligence automatically reviews and corrects writing in the background in almost all apps, including third-party ones, without additional steps. An integrated concealer.
• Evolution of Image Playground: Image generation improves in quality, including styles such as photorealism. It does this with a model in Private Cloud Compute. It allows you to apply styles to photos in your library and edit them using natural language or touch gestures.

Intelligence Applied to Native Apps

• Safari: AI can automatically classify and organize open tabs by theme or topic. Also the function of monitoring web pages using natural language and notifying if something changes. In addition, it allows you to create custom extensions describing in natural language what you want the tool to do on the web.
• Passwords: Allows you to automatically update eligible accounts to give them strong passwords with a single touch. The system autonomously navigates the website in question safely to apply the change. Only if they are compatible.
• Shortcuts: Creating shortcuts is made as simple as possible. Now you just have to describe the automation you want in natural language and Apple Intelligence brings together all the steps and applications required to build it.
• Photos: Advanced editing with distraction removal in complex scenes with more realistic backgrounds. You can also stretch the edges of an image to change the aspect ratio or straighten horizons using smart generation. Additionally, you can change the three-dimensional perspective of an already taken photo using local spatial models, recalculating the angles of the scene as if you had physically moved the camera sideways or down when shooting.
• Integration at Home: Siri AI will also work at Home, and will integrate with smart speakers.

Siri AI will not arrive in Europe (for now)

Siri AI and all the new artificial intelligence news will arrive with iOS 27. However, They will not reach Europe because Apple fails to comply with European legislation.

EU law forces Apple to allow any third-party assistant to do the same as Siri AI, to don’t make users only have one optionand can choose from others available.

Apple hides behind the fact that allowing other AI apps to access your apps, read your messages, modify files or make purchases for you could be dangerous, and it does not know how to open that level of access in the operating system without creating a security hole. Therefore, your solution is to not implement this feature in Europe.

There is one exception, and that is that the new Siri AI will come to macOS, WatchOS and VisionOS in Europe. These operating systems are not considered by Europe to be dominant platforms like iOS is considered, and that is why they will not reach the iPhone but possibly the Macs. In any case, for now Siri AI will only be released in English, and there is still no date for its translation into Spanish.
