Known issues we've tracked

LAUNCH TIMELINE (announced 2026-06-08 at WWDC): developer testing began immediately in the OS 27 developer betas; public beta arrives in July 2026; general availability comes this fall with iOS 27 / iPadOS 27 / macOS 27 / watchOS 27 / visionOS 27. The Siri AI user-facing beta itself launches 'later this year,' initially in English. Apple's PR positions it as 'profoundly more intelligent, knowledgeable, and capable' -- understands on-screen content, searches personal data across apps, accesses web information, performs system-wide actions, and gets a dedicated Siri app with iCloud-synced conversation history

GEMINI PARTNERSHIP: Apple's announcement states the next-generation Apple Foundation Models were 'custom-built in collaboration with Google and its Gemini models.' Press (TechCrunch, CNBC) reports the deal at roughly $1B/year for a ~1.2T-parameter custom Gemini variant (codename 'Project Campos' -- codename is press-reported, not Apple-confirmed). Apple did not disclose model size or deal terms on stage

THIRD-PARTY MODELS (iOS 27 Extensions): users will be able to select a third-party AI -- Apple's developer materials name Claude and Gemini, plus 'any other provider that implements the new language model protocol' -- as the assistant behind Siri, Writing Tools, and Image Playground. The Foundation Models framework adds image input, server-side models, and the public LanguageModel protocol so developers can swap providers without code changes. SiriKit is formally deprecated in favor of App Intents. Ships with the fall releases

REGIONAL EXCLUSIONS at launch: EU users don't get Siri AI on iPhone/iPad initially (Mac, Watch, and Vision Pro users get access with supported languages); China is excluded entirely pending regulatory approval. No committed dates for either region
