Siri AI will be available in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish this October
Siri AI, Apple's long-anticipated redesign of its digital assistant, will be available in five additional languages come October, the company announced today during its fall iPhone event. Siri AI is already available in English through the iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 betas, and will roll out more broadly to English-speaking users once Apple makes those updates available to the public on Monday, September 14. During today's iPhone event, the company said it plans to bring Siri AI to French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish speaking users sometime next month. Apple also confirmed that Siri AI would feature daily usage for prompts that require the assistant to make use of the company's cloud compute AI models. We're waiting on the company to share more details, but it said that its iCloud plans would offer expanded usage limits.
Apple Doesn't Want You to Worry About the New Apple Watch's Listening Features
The new Apple Watch includes several "intelligent" listening features that have privacy and security baked in. But the protections can't change the facts of what the tools do. The new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 come not just with better fitness tracking and upgraded noise reduction, but a whole new way to listen. Apple announced on Wednesday that the two smartwatches come with four opt-in "audio intelligence" tools that are powered by audio gathered by the watches' microphones. They include sound and music recognition, a conversation recap feature, and "Live Rewind" so a user can see a transcription of anything that was said in their environment in the previous 15 seconds.

iOS 27 with Siri AI will be available on September 14
The next version of iOS will arrive on Monday, September 14, Apple announced today at its fall iPhone event. That same day, the company will also release iPadOS 27 and watchOS 27 to the public. The operating systems mark the public debut of Siri AI, the company's long-awaited (and oft delayed) overhaul of its digital assistant. Apple partnered with Google to use the company's Gemini models in the training of the algorithms that power Siri AI. In Engadget's early testing of Siri AI, we found the assistant was actually capable of answering complex questions and carrying out multi-step prompts.
