Traditional Chinese Siri AI Enters iOS 27.3 Public Beta: Supported iPhones and Personal Context Tests
AI assistants · AI productivity
Apple released the iOS 27.3 public beta, introducing Traditional Chinese Siri AI for testing. Requiring Apple Intelligence-supported iPhones like iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 series, the feature leverages personal context and semantic indexing across on-device apps. Media testing showed accurate personal itinerary and photo retrieval, alongside beta limitations such as returning fewer requested photos. The official release is expected by late 2026.
Media hands-on reports indicate that Traditional Chinese Siri AI is now accessible in the iOS 27.3 public beta. The feature is restricted to Apple Intelligence-compatible devices, such as the iPhone 15 Pro series, iPhone 16 series, iPhone 16e, iPhone 17e, and iPhone Air; non-supported older devices cannot run Siri AI even if updated to iOS 27. The assistant relies heavily on Personal Context and a background Semantic Index across device data, including messages, emails, calendars, photos, and reminders. Tests demonstrated accurate calendar queries, automated packing checklist generation based on past records, and location identification from photo data. However, beta inconsistencies occurred, such as returning only two photos when five were requested. Apple expects the final release before the end of 2026.
