Apple has introduced a Siri AI waitlist for beta users of both iOS 27 and macOS 27, which are set to launch next month. This means that users will not have immediate access to the new Siri AI features once their devices update to the new operating systems. The waitlist was implemented in the initial developer betas of both iOS 27 and macOS 27 to enable Apple to gauge usage and determine the necessary server capacity for AI tasks that cannot be processed on-device.
Beta users experienced wait times ranging from one to two weeks, with the status displayed as "Joined Waitlist." With the release versions of the new operating systems, it appears that the Siri AI waitlist will be incorporated as well. Apple added code in Beta 7 across OS releases to provide users with an estimate of how long they may have to wait. Once access is granted, users will receive a pushed message notifying them.
