Apple’s New Siri Is Just Good Enough to Ease Its AI Crisis

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman tested the new Siri in iOS 27 and macOS 27. It can understand on-screen context and perform cross-app tasks—like finding a photo, editing it, and sending it via Messages—with a single voice command. Complex tasks still take 11+ seconds and occasionally miss steps. Gurman calls it 'just good enough': a big leap from the old Siri but still trailing Google Astra. The post also mentions a foldable iPhone and touchscreen MacBook in development, with no release dates disclosed.

Why it matters: Mark Gurman's first hands-on with the new Siri delivers latency numbers and failure details — not a press release. Score stays at 78 because this is a progress check, not a launch, and Gurman himself concludes it still trails Google Astra.
