I am currently on Apple's Dev Beta V4 for iOS 27. The first version I installed was the Dev Beta V2, I am desperate to try out the new Siri AI Beta, but it's just not installing for me.

I have the ability to "turn siri off" then "on again" and find I get the 2024 Apple Intelligence version fine.

But if I choose to try out the new AI Beta, I'm left with "Adding support for Siri is in progress. Siri will be unavailable until the update is complete." It's been in that state for over 48 hours in Beta 4 and I'm left with the OLD OLD Siri globe from pre-Apple intelligence.

Am I being too keen and just not leaving it long enough? Or is there a genuine issue at Apple's end, in regard to getting the new Siri to actually fully install?

Well, let’s see if Dev Beta 7 gets me anywhere with Siri… it really is getting rather boring, that we’re 7 versions in and the new Siri just doesn’t install.

It’s Wednesday night, after a Monday night install. The optimising has finished. Siri is in exactly the same spot that it’s in every other time.

I’ll add to the same feedback report, but it’s really starting to feel like no-one’s actually listening. We’re getting closer and closer to the RC version.

Well, let’s give 8 a while. Remember I first joined in in version 2… I’ve been through 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and STILL Siri Beta just sits there.

Hmmmm Beta 8 seems no different. Same feedback form updated with a fresh sysdiagnose file.
