Downloaded the iOS 27 Beta? Here is Why Your Siri is Still Dumb
Apple unveiled its highly anticipated Siri AI overhaul at WWDC 2026, but eager developers downloading the iOS 27 beta are hitting an unexpected waitlist.

My guess is tomorrow around same time …10 am PST
Anyone else not seeing it in Software Update?

You can always download directly off of Apple’s website if you don’t want to wait
Just give me iOS 5 now
I’m still not getting a “music” option under “purchased” in the iTunes store. Just books and apps.
Are you talking about on your iphone or in itunes?
iTunes. A little disconcerting the number of features that Canadians are going to have to wait for: iCloud purchase syncing, Siri, iTunes match.. hopefully that’s the end of the list and it will be just a short delay.
iTunes purchase syncing has been working since they announced it ages ago…Siri will also be available from day one on the 4S.
The only one you are right on is the music match service.
Me either still just Apps and Books in iTunes and on my phone. I’m sure we are being screwed over by some Canadian licensing requirement sigh.
Confirmed if you click learn more in iTunes from the purchased tab at the bottom it says,
“Music and TV Show features are available only in the U.S.”
Hopefully Canadians will get it soon
The music option is US only feature for now (hopefully). Same with iTunes Match – it will initially be US only.
If we’re lucky, this Xmas Santa will give us a gift and give these features for Canadian users.
Can’t wait to see how they manage to mess up integration with Outlook in this release. 😉

I still can’t get the iTunes sync to work. I have wifi but I don’t have it connected to the Internet. My iPhone is my sole access to the net. I’m assuming that I need Internet enabled wifi for some crazy reason. :/
I have just noticed the the iCloud for iTunes music tab is now live on my iTunes 10.5 under the new “purchased” button
I’m having a problem with my photo albums. always been able to sync chosen albums to my phone for some reason I keep getting a message about will not work on your phone..?? all .jpgs & all have been synced not problem for the past 2+ years. Had to muck around with apps and ringtones too but all that’s Ok now.
What does this new terms of agreement mean about not switching ids on a device within 90 days? Am I misreading or does this now pose a problem for backups if two people use the same Mac to sync their devices? What if we don’t want to trust iCloud yet? What if we were also sharing apps?
