I’ve found nothing about the waitlist, like when are there expected openings, how does an opening occur, and do I need to do anything else except join the waitlist? It’s been indexing for the same amount of time that I’ve been waiting for Siri, so is that a factor?
I’ve been waiting for Siri AI for 48 hours, does anyone have any information about this?
I joined the waitlist around 5 PM EST on Monday, been waiting around 52 hours and counting. I upgraded from 26.5 Stable directly to iOS 27, and I didn't even encounter indexing. And if I did, it was so fast I didn't even notice. This whole thing seems like a loose cannon, kind of hit and miss on when people get access.
About 50+ hours for me now. Still waiting. 16 pro max. Been waiting since Monday afternoon.
EDIT: we’re nearing 72 hours with no notification, and indexing is still occurring. I’m going to leave my phone on charge all day tomorrow and we’ll see if it fixes itself
UPDATE: I got accepted into the waitlist. Indexing is NOT related to being accepted. Here are a couple things I did:
-
Turned on airplane mode > restart iPhone > turned off airplane mode
-
chanted language and Region to Canada > restart iPhone > change back to US
-
Tested a Terminal sequence to see if it would give me access to Siri, it did. However I quickly deactivated it as it was very buggy.
about an hour after doing the third one I got the New Siri! I also had my phone on charge the entire time. Hope this helps some of you.
I strongly suspect none of the things you did had any effect.
got accepted but still indexing
