Original source
Apple releases iOS and macOS 27.2 with new Siri AI features, new Music logo
Ars Technica →Apple rolled out version 27.2 across all operating systems, positioning Siri AI as the centerpiece. The assistant now retains memory of past conversations and references them during interactions. Siri gained access to voicemails and message attachments alongside other data sources for richer context. Language support expanded to French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, though availability remains blocked in Europe and mainland China.
The update introduces an “Excluded Apps” option, letting users restrict which applications can access Siri, Search, and suggestions—a privacy control amid broader scrutiny of AI data consumption. Other features include context-aware suggestions in Messages, SynthID watermarking for Photos, user profiles in Apple TV, and updated Music branding. Meanwhile, macOS and watchOS received similar Siri enhancements, while visionOS got the new languages and refreshed Music icon.
Beta code hints at gesture recognition capabilities in Photos, Notes, and Safari—potentially signaling touch input on the next MacBook Pro, which may be announced at Apple’s scheduled briefing this Wednesday.
