David Pogue Tests the New AI Siri With 125 Tasks

Summary

David Pogue tested the final version of Apple’s new AI Siri with 125 tasks after using a beta version throughout the summer. The tests included tasks Apple had said were possible, ideas suggested by Reddit users, and capabilities he wanted to investigate himself. Siri failed a handful of times, but also completed several tasks that surprised him. John Gruber adds that, after using iOS 27 with the new Siri AI since shortly after WWDC, his main difficulty is remembering to ask Siri for help instead of doing tasks manually. The article presents the new Siri as useful enough to save time, while emphasizing that users may need to build a new habit of relying on it.
