Apple to release iOS 27 and Siri AI on September 14
Apple has announced the official release date of September 14, 2026, for its major software suite, including iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and macOS 27 Golden Gate. The central feature of this update is the redesigned Siri AI, powered by Apple Intelligence. This new version of the assistant is capable of understanding onscreen context, interacting with third-party applications, and maintaining natural, conversational flows.
Due to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), Apple confirmed that Siri AI will not be available in the European Union at the time of launch. However, the company plans to expand language support to Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese in October 2026.
Hardware requirements for the new AI features are specific: Siri AI will be available on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and all iPhone 16 models or later. For the Apple Watch, watchOS 27 will support the Series 9 and newer models. The update also introduces visual refinements like the Liquid Glass interface and improved performance across various Apple devices.
