iOS 27 makes Siri useful again: Gemini-powered, handles complex requests and on-screen context

With iOS 27, I’m actually using Siri again

After switching to the iOS 27 public beta, the author went from using Siri only for timers to relying on it daily. The overhaul swaps in Google Gemini models, replacing the old extended-knowledge setup and shaky ChatGPT integration. In real use, Siri handles sports schedules, lineups, and scores; early dev builds had hiccups, but the public beta is mostly stable. It also gets a new logo and transition animation. The post doesn't disclose latency, accuracy metrics, or specific device models—it's a first-person experience piece.
