iOS 27 beta 8 now available as Apple tests major Siri AI upgrade

Apple has released the eighth iOS 27 beta for developer testing, marking an AI-focused update ahead of a September public release. The eighth developer beta is available through the Settings app on eligible iPhones, and it will likely become iOS 27 public beta 6. iOS 27's headline change is Siri AI, Apple's rebuilt assistant powered by the next generation of Apple Intelligence and new Apple Foundation Models.

Siri AI brings richer conversations, personal context, broader world knowledge, on-screen awareness, and deeper app actions across the system. Additionally, the new visual experience tied to the Dynamic Island and a dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations across devices are part of the update.
