  "account": "Apple is set to introduce a new feature called Siri Mode in the Camera app of iPads, which will allow users to interact with the device using AI-powered visual intelligence. This feature is currently available in iPhones and will soon be rolled out to compatible iPads running iPadOS 27.3. With Siri Mode, users can ask AI questions about objects they point their iPad's camera at, and they can also take advantage of Apple Pencil support to draw around an item for more detailed information. To access this feature, users can long-press the Camera Control button or press the Action button (if available) in the Camera app, or swipe through the viewfinder options to reach the Siri tab in iPadOS 27.3. The public version of iPadOS 27.3 is expected to be released in December, but users can already try the beta version, available since early November. Before installing the beta, it is recommended to create a full backup of the iPad using iCloud, a Mac, or a Windows PC, as beta builds may contain bugs and errors.",
