As someone with a visual processing disorder, I love Siri AI and I completely trust it to do whatever I needed to do that it can do. It is still in Beta so you know not everything works. But that's OK I use it for so much already. It just means I need rest staff
iOS 27 is packed with hidden features, and after spending the last few days with the beta, I found 20 of the best ones that Apple barely talked about. From smarter search and customizable AirPods EQ to Visual Intelligence nutrition tracking and AI-powered Siri shortcuts, these features make iOS 27 feel like one of the most impactful iPhone updates in years.
In this video, I cover:

During the whole Apple Intelligence debacle Apple was behind and straight up lying to people. And now after a single Beta they’re suddenly ahead of everyone else? People sure have short memories. In my opinion we should be wary to trust Apple and wait until the finished product is released (if it releases) until we make up our minds.
