The waitlist will help Apple manage initial server capacity.
Many users reacted with frustration to the waitlist requirement for new Siri features in iOS 27, calling it ridiculous and another sign of Apple's repeated delays and unfinished beta-like releases.

@MacRumors As well as a paywall…?

@MacRumors To the surprise of absolutely nobody

@MacRumors @isiosstable Welcome to a time when Apple’s releases too are not at the same time universally. 🥴

@isiosstable @MacRumors No, but it will only be available outside if the EU, we all know that. Apple will simply not release the same thing that other providers already have (which shows what can be done and what now if you think about the laws).

@MacRumors This is actually getting ridiculous now

translated for normal humans: apple is finally shipping the rebuilt, actually-smart Siri, but quietly putting the best new bits behind a waitlist instead of switching them on for everyone. reading between the lines: when a company puts its flagship AI feature behind a velvet rope, its usually because the thing is expensive to run and not fully reliable yet. the reported engine under it is a big outside model walled off inside apple's private servers so your data supposedly stays yours. "its coming, but carefully" is the whole story.

@MacRumors They did the beta a year ago. If they try it again, will be a laughable disaster. Most people don’t want ai. They want Siri to actually function

@MacRumors I’m moving to android, apple fell off

@9to5mac @ChanceHMiller

@MacRumors typical apple thing - irritating

@MacRumors Apple do this all the time, get us excited for something, then 2-3 days before, ohh you need this version of an iPhone to use it, ohh it's beta and not fully ready, ohh we're announcing this feature today, but won't be ready for another 3 years, just hold off then!

@MacRumors Apple Intelligence was as well, but it took literally one hour to grant me access

@9to5mac @ChanceHMiller Yeah typically Apple.

@MacRumors Of course they will be, of course

@MacRumors ios 27 siri really making us stand in a digital queue

@MacRumors @isiosstable Not again 🤦🏻

@footballmaniaw @Easton59745605 @MacRumors I literally live here my dude, Apple Intelligence took forever to make it here

@Easton59745605 @MacRumors Except if you’re in the EU, then it takes 3 months

@t87 @MacRumors The last time they did this it took most people max an hour to get in.

@zippysando @MacRumors It won’t be a disaster if siri works well.
