New Siri AI frustrates iPhone and Apple Watch users

The new Siri AI shipped with iOS 27 is drawing user complaints: "Sorry, something went wrong" errors, on-device search failures, unlock requirements, slow responses and missing features from the old Siri. The assistant is labeled beta and rolls out via a waitlist.

• Network errors and Private Cloud Compute outages disrupt the assistant
• Siri fails to find lists, alarms and HomeKit accessories due to indexing issues
• Many requests require unlocking the iPhone even with the setting enabled
• Health queries and the "Use ChatGPT" command are gone; rollback via Screen Time
