These are the requirements to get Siri AI in iOS 27

With iOS 27, Apple has launched Siri AI, a major evolution of our favorite assistant that relies on Apple Intelligence to do far more than it could before. The leap is simply enormous, both in its understanding of context and in its integration with the apps we already use. Want to try it? Let’s see what the requirements are to use Siri AI on iOS 27.

A device compatible with Apple Intelligence

Hardware is key. Siri AI works on all devices that support Apple Intelligence, so we need to have an iPhone 15 Pro or later. Some features, especially voice customization, are also reserved for the iPhone 17 Pro and later.

With Apple Intelligence, and therefore with Siri AI, all Macs with Apple silicon, iPads with an A17 Pro or later are also compatible, as are Apple Watches compatible with watchOS 27 and the Vision Pro.

English and minimum age requirements

During these first few weeks, Siri AI requires you to set your device to English. Apple has officially announced that it will expand language support in October to French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, but for now, Siri AI is only available in English. In addition, the account must belong to a person aged 13 or older.

Region is also a requirement

Initial availability excludes the European Union and China depending on the country or region set on the Apple Account in Content and Purchases. In Europe, Apple says it’s working on a way that will allow it to protect our privacy and security as it rolls out Siri AI.

Given that the EU requires Apple to give any artificial intelligence the same level of access to the system that Siri AI has, its arrival on the continent depends on the progress of the regulatory talks and on how Apple manages to make the case for the need to maintain certain privacy standards for third-party services.
