Apple updates Siri in iOS 27 with context awareness
Apple has unveiled an updated Siri in iOS 27 and macOS 27. The assistant can finally handle multistep tasks and processes personal data directly on the device. Bloomberg's critics call the result "good enough." After two years of ridicule for lagging behind, that already counts as a win. At the same time, the company confirmed details of a foldable iPhone and a MacBook with a touchscreen.
