David Pogue's 125 tests reveal that Apple's new AI‑powered Siri could be a phone‑changer for users.
David Pogue, the veteran tech columnist, has published a detailed rundown of Apple’s newly rebuilt Siri AI, testing the assistant with 125 real‑world prompts. In a Substack post titled “125 Tests of the New AI Siri,” Pogue evaluates how often the system delivers correct answers, handles context, and executes cross‑app actions now that the final version ships with iOS 27. His spreadsheet of results, compiled after a summer of beta testing, shows the assistant moving beyond the four‑task routine that has defined Siri for most of its 15‑year history.
The review matters because it offers the first independent, granular look at Siri’s capabilities beyond Apple’s marketing claims. Apple’s iOS 27 rollout introduced a version of Siri that can understand personal context, read on‑screen content and trigger workflows across multiple apps—a leap that could reshape how iPhone users interact with their devices. Pogue’s findings suggest the AI is already delivering “phone‑changing” functionality, hinting that Apple may finally have a conversational assistant that can compete with third‑party rivals on depth and reliability.
As we reported on 15 September, Apple began shipping Siri AI in beta and has so far limited the rollout to regions outside the EU and China. The next steps to watch are the broader global rollout, how quickly developers integrate the new context‑aware APIs, and whether Apple’s safety and privacy safeguards keep pace with the assistant’s expanded reach. Continued third‑party testing and user feedback will be crucial in confirming whether Siri AI can sustain its early promise as a core pillar of Apple’s iOS ecosystem.
