iOS 27 launched this week with the all-new Siri AI. David Pogue put the new Siri to the test by trying 125 requests, here’s how it went.

Siri has been baked into the iPhone for nearly 15 years. But during that time, many Apple users have grown accustomed to only depending on Siri for certain supported tasks.

For example, I’ve long relied on Siri to create reminders, start timers, play Apple Music, and when driving I’ll use it to send messages. Outside of those few limited tasks though, Siri’s shortcomings have trained me to not rely on it.

But iOS 27’s new Siri AI is a huge upgrade that can do so much more than ever before. It might just take some time to adjust to it being your go-to, though.

That’s why I found David Pogue’s new Substack post so helpful. Titled “125 Tests of the New AI Siri,” Pogue lists out over 100 prompts he’s tried with Siri AI and details how the assistant did.

Here are a few examples that stood out to me:

28. What are people waiting on me for? (Generates list from Mail, Messages, and Reminders. Incredible. Everything I did for this column was supposed to be for testing purposes only, but this one actually found stuff I’d forgotten I was supposed to do!) […]

30. (Running late to a party:) What’s the apartment number!? (“The apartment number for the Bynum party tonight is 10-F.” Note: I never said what party or what day!) […]

46. Delete all my alarms. (“Do you want to delete 38 alarms in Clock?” Tap to confirm.)

With almost every one of the 125 tests, Siri succeeded. And among the few failures, such as sending a Venmo payment, Siri AI will likely perform better after third parties update their apps for iOS 27 and Siri AI compatibility.

You can read the full list of 125 Siri AI examples here on Pogue’s Substack.
