Apple bets on Siri AI with watchOS 27 and a center-stage app grid

Apple announced watchOS 27, introducing Siri AI with a dedicated app that can carry conversations across devices and perform actions in apps, plus a new dynamic app grid that centers the Siri app. It also adds health/fitness tweaks (including improvements to Workout Buddy and expanded perimenopause notifications) and system refinements like widget suggestions, faster music playback, battery optimizations, improved Find My, and a new tap gesture for widget selection. The update will roll out this fall to Apple Watch Series 9 and newer (including Ultra 2/3 and SE 3); a beta will arrive later this year, and Siri AI won’t (yet) reach iOS/iPadOS in the EU. A June correction notes support is for Series 9 and newer, not Series 10.
