Description
Siri AI is the headline feature of iOS 27, but it’s genuinely not available to everyone yet, so if it’s missing on your iPhone, iPad or Mac there’s usually a good reason. I’ll explain every restriction Apple has confirmed, from the EU and China exclusions to the devices that qualify, like iPhone 15 Pro or later. I’ll also cover the English-only beta launch, the languages coming in October and the daily usage limits.

So, iOS 27 brings a bunch of new features to help your iPhone feel quicker and faster and more reliable. But it also brings a massive new feature in the form of Siri AI. But the problem is, Siri AI is not available to everyone. So, in this quick video, I’ll tell you which devices and which regions can get Siri AI, and then perhaps what to look out for in the future.
Before I do that, if you’re new around here, then hi, my name is Jacob. I’m your friendly Apple expert here on YouTube, to help you make the most of your device. Please do tap subscribe if you want more QuickTips like this.
Okay, so Siri AI is supported on certain devices in certain regions, and we’ll get the big one out the way first. At launch, it’s not going to be available in the EU or China. These are for various regulatory reasons, which hopefully can be ironed out and sorted in the future, but at the moment, if you’re watching this in the EU or China, I’m afraid you’re not going to get Siri AI as it currently stands.
And then there are two more things to be aware of: the devices, and the language. Let’s start with the devices. So, for Siri AI to work, you have to have an iPhone 15 Pro or later. So, a regular iPhone 16, iPhone 17, iPhone Air, they will all get Siri AI, but the regular iPhone 15 and below, they won’t. For Mac, any Mac with Apple silicon can support this. And for iPad, you’re looking for any device with an M-series chip, so an iPad Air or Pro with an M1 chip or later, or an iPad mini with an A17 Pro. If you’ve got a base model iPad, or a slightly older iPad Air, mini, or Pro, again, sadly, they’re not going to get Siri AI.
And then the language restriction is really important here, because to begin with, this is going to launch in English only. I feel sure that will change, Apple often updates their features to more languages as it rolls out, but to begin with, Siri AI is English only.
So, if you’re not in the EU or China, if you’ve got a modern, up-to-date device, and if you speak English, Siri AI should be there for you right now. And then you can check out these QuickTips to see what it can do.
