iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate include Siri AI, Apple's much more capable version of Siri. When the new updates launch, it appears Apple will use a waitlist and limit initial access.
On the MacRumors forums, Mactracker found that the seventh betas of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate include waitlist infrastructure.
Apple will use dynamic wait time messages once a user joins the Siri AI waitlist. It looks like Apple will give a clear estimate of the wait, and the company will be able to adjust the wait time readouts server-side based on demand and capacity. Apple will send a notification when Siri AI can be used.
Siri AI had a waitlist during the beta testing period. It took up to a week for some people to get access, but there's no indication yet of how long people might have to wait after the public launch in September.
