Key Points

•As previously announced, Apple has today released 2026’s major annual updates for its operating systems, including iOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, watchOS 27, visionOS 27, and tvOS 27.
•Siri AI—a large language model-based and context-aware overhaul of the company’s Siri voice and text assistant—is the flagship feature across all these releases except one (tvOS).
•Other new AI features include the ability to generate Shortcut automations or Safari extensions from a prompt and additional photo editing options. There’s now a dedicated Siri app, kind of similar in some respects to the classic ChatGPT or Claude apps.

The new Siri can respond in kind to natural language requests to do things like explain what's on the screen and search the user's past personal context and history (like old emails and text messages). It can also directly interact with applications when developers have added support for that
