GoKawiilApple's new Siri AI in iOS 27 draws user complaints over bugs and reliability
Apple's overhauled Siri AI, rolling out as a beta through a waitlist in iOS 27, promises richer answers, personal context search through messages and notes, and onscreen awareness. Despite these upgrades, users on social media report recurring problems including network errors that produce a vague 'Sorry, something went wrong' message and failures to locate reminders, lists or alarms that the older Siri handled without issue.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
A flagship AI overhaul stumbling on basic reliability undermines trust in Apple's broader push into generative AI features, especially as it competes with more mature assistants from Google and OpenAI. Persistent bugs in a beta rollout also suggest Apple's cloud backend and indexing systems still need significant work before wide release.
- New Siri AI is in beta and rolling out via waitlist in iOS 27.
- Users report network errors and failures to find reminders or alarms.
- Apple appears to have backend and indexing issues to resolve before full launch.
