Умная Siri Ai и фишки MacOS 27, iPadOS 27, WatchOS 27

Main summary

Key takeaways

Technology

Key topic: “Siri AI” (Smart Siri) across Apple devices

Availability requirement

  • Smart Siri only works if:
    • Device region is set to US
    • System language is English

Access timing / wait

  • Waiting time is unclear, but the speaker’s workaround suggests:
    • Vision Pro users may get access within the first 24 hours.

Ways to trigger Siri

  • Voice: “Siri” / “Hey Siri”
  • Hold the power button
  • Dynamic Island: swipe to open text input and switch to dictation

Customization

  • Choose Siri’s voice
  • Choose Siri glow colors

Language limitation (English-first behavior)

  • Siri is presented as speaking exclusively English.
  • Switching to Russian may work only inconsistently (described as a “cheat attempt” / early beta behavior).
  • The speaker expects Russian will likely arrive later, similar to earlier GPT behavior, but currently it feels incomplete.

What Siri can do (examples)

  • Control iPhone functions
    • Take screenshots
    • Call contacts (e.g., “call your mom”)
  • Open specific apps and perform actions
    • Example mentioned: opening music and playing content
    • The speaker claims Yandex Music may work as well
  • Find photos/videos
    • Example mentioned: searching for car media “instantly”

Major reliability issue (search)

  • Search is described as “constantly crashing.”
  • Even with a VPN set to US or using a Russian network, search may fail.
  • The speaker contrasts this with Apple-provided phones at the Cupertino presentation, which allegedly worked 10/10, highlighting inconsistency.

New/related AI features mentioned (beta-focused)

Playground wallpaper generation

  • Generates wallpapers from:
    • Text
    • Photos

Commands app generation via text

  • Text descriptions can create multi-step automation commands
  • The UI shows the added steps/actions
  • The speaker notes it may work even when Siri AI is unavailable by switching model choice (especially a “local” model), but results are “50/50.”

Passwords app security check

  • Automatically scans whether stored passwords have leaked into the public domain
  • If leaked, it suggests changing passwords
  • The speaker claims Siri handles password changes by:
    • logging into another website
    • updating the password there (said to be validated as working)

Safari tab grouping

  • Topic-based tab grouping is said to be available across “Siri AI devices.”

Device segmentation problem (practical frustration)

Split between devices with and without Siri AI

  • The speaker emphasizes Apple devices effectively split into:
    • Devices with Siri AI
    • Devices without Siri AI
  • This affects which features users see after updates—especially outside the US and likely even within Europe (described as likely limited rollout).

Rollback/update caution

  • Latest betas can be installed widely.
  • Rollback is possible on most devices, but:
    • not for Watches
    • bricked WatchOS devices may be difficult to repair.

macOS 27 (“Golden Gate”) highlights (design + productivity + AI)

Liquid Glass transparency

  • System-wide transparency setting can be:
    • turned off completely
  • Path: Settings → Design → transparency

UI/animation/design changes

  • Removed floating sidebar, replaced with a normal side menu
  • Restored consistent corner radius
  • Animations feel smoother, with more animation additions
  • Control Center icons can be resized in real time:
    • small/medium/large, including stretched
  • Accessibility: added “display borders” for readability

Quality-of-life behaviors

  • If an app is minimized but not fully closed, it shows “running in the background”
  • Safari refresh: drag the page down
  • Status bar improvements:
    • an arrow appears
    • icons can be dragged to hide overflow

Search improvements

  • System search can find content inside apps, not only apps
  • Early behavior described:
    • slow initial indexing
    • then it works properly

Mac photo editor AI tools

  • Smart eraser
  • Expansion
  • Angle change
  • Claimed to run slightly faster than on iPhones/AirPods (more capable chips), but still not “as fast as desired.”

iPadOS 27 highlights (inherits features from iOS + macOS)

Home screen cleanup

  • The clock can be removed from the home screen and moved into the date widget

New wallpapers

  • Static/dynamic/color options
  • Includes options matching device color themes

Liquid Glass / design parallels

  • Liquid Glass is described as closer to macOS than before

Settings/sidebar changes

  • Floating sidebar removed → now a standard side menu

Multitasking & gestures toggle

  • In Settings → Multitasking & Gestures, a toggle pins the app menu (described as always open at the top in the editor)

AI tools in iPad editor

  • The speaker mentions three AI-based tools
  • No deep new details beyond “works fine”

Performance note

  • Even with an M4 iPad, performance isn’t as fast as expected vs Mac mini (speaker observation)

Video → photo extraction

  • Save a frame from a video as a photo without quality loss

Safari smart tab grouping

  • Similar behavior to macOS/iPhone

Overall conclusion

  • iPadOS received the most features, but nothing “fundamentally changed.”

watchOS 27 highlights (limited device support + usability features)

Update scope

  • Updated models:
    • Series 9, 10, 11, SE3, Ultra 2, Ultra 3
  • Ultra 1 is not updated, framed as marketing

Liquid Glass + animations

  • Slightly more responsive, with new animations

Digital Crown behavior

  • Frequently used apps appear first
  • The list updates automatically based on usage
  • Favorite described behavior: opening apps while running (e.g., Telegram in the center)

Gesture improvements

  • Double-tap: opens widget panel and moves to the next element (not just scrolling)
  • Single clamp/press: used for selection

Locator/app update (navigation mapping)

  • Locator redesigned to fit the map
  • Intended to quickly show where a person/thing is
  • Possible loading/network issues reported:
    • map loading can take a long time
    • unclear if it’s user-specific or widespread

Fitness/training improvements

  • Updated statistics for pace tracking
  • Improved distance tracking outdoors and on treadmill

No major headline features

  • Speaker notes no new watch faces and minimal major additions
  • Implies Apple may prioritize other products

Overall review / tuning advice from the speaker

  • Siri AI is repeatedly framed as:
    • a beta
    • with region/language limitations
    • plus reliability issues, especially search

macOS reliability for work

  • macOS is described as more “safe” for work use
  • But a Russian localization bug is mentioned:
    • in the first beta, switching system to English works
    • but Russian localization may prevent apps from opening, blocking access to the app list

Recommendation

  • Delay updating on macOS, especially if work-critical
  • Keep the “working tool” stable.

Main speakers / sources

  • Primary speaker: an individual reviewer/host identified only as “M.”
  • Referenced sources: Apple presentation/events in Cupertino (speaker’s personal attendance) and Apple services/devices (Siri AI, Playgrounds, Commands, Passwords, Safari, Locator, etc.).
