After years of promises, Apple has finally rebuilt Siri in iOS 27. But is Siri AI finally the digital assistant we’ve been waiting for? Joanna took Apple’s demos into the real world, spending a week using Siri for a road trip to the beach, shopping, meals, medical questions, personal advice—and yes, trying to make Siri her girlfriend. What makes the new Siri different is that it can understand a surprising amount of personal information from your iPhone. Joanna breaks down how Apple’s new AI works, what data stays private and whether we have ultimate trust in Apple.
