Apple ships iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27, with Siri AI as an English beta and no iPhone rollout in the EU

Sources: Apple Newsroom, HN discussion
Summary: Apple states Siri AI starts as a beta in English, with French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish stated for October, that Mac and Apple Vision Pro users in the EU can reach it, and that it will not be available initially in the EU on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS, nor in China while Apple works through regulatory requirements. Apple states server-side features including Siri AI, intelligent photo editing, Image Playground and AFM 3 Cloud models in Shortcuts are subject to daily usage limits that vary by feature and system demand, and that expanded access will be available for a fee in the future. Supported hardware for Apple Intelligence and Siri AI starts at iPhone 15 Pro, M1 Macs and iPads, Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Vision Pro, and the platform numbers are Apple's own, with apps launching up to 30 percent faster on iPhone and iPad, photos loading up to 70 percent faster after capture, AirDrop up to 80 percent faster and external USB file transfer on iPad up to 5x faster.
Why it matters: The availability section is the operational part, because an EU iPhone fleet gets no Siri AI at all and every server-side feature carries a daily limit Apple does not quantify.
Follow-up: Whether the EU rollout on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS and the China release arrive, and what the stated fee for expanded server-side access turns out to be.
