Apple unveiled watchOS 27 at WWDC last week, and there wasn’t much to see—at least that’s the impression you’re left with after the presentation. So, on this week’s Macworld Podcast, we’re talking about what you’ll find in watchOS 27.

This is episode 988 with Michael Simon, Jason Cross, and Roman Loyola.

I was surprised and disappointed to learn that my new iPhone 17 will not be getting Apple Intelligence, apparently. Does this mean that we will forever be stuck with the old Siri?? Will there be ANY Siri improvements for otherwise iOS supported devices?

One thing that i haven’t seen clarified so far – and i think is pretty important is how much if any of the Siri AI / Apple Intelligence is optional or – is it the case that it is not optional at all and or the best way to limit features is by using an older device that works with less features

Don’t get me wrong I get it, the only way that any AI product will improve is if a lot of people regularly use it, so far most if not all tech companies appear to have take the approach on forcing it on users. the problem is this approach has sparked a big backlash, and Microsoft is particular is having to backpedal on their co-pilot is everywhere in windows “strategy”
