visionOS 27 introduces the next generation of Apple Intelligence and Siri AI, as well as new spatial experiences and improvements that make Apple Vision Pro more responsive and intuitive to use. Siri AI is an entirely new version of Siri that is more intelligent, knowledgeable, and capable. The next generation of Apple Intelligence also powers new features across apps, including Safari, Image Playground, and Home. New spatial experiences let you transform panoramas into immersive spatial scenes, preview 3D models from your Mac in your space, and enjoy apps with curved windows. And with improvements that span areas like Wi-Fi connectivity, notifications, and Control Center, the experience on visionOS 27 has been refined so it feels even better to use.
