Again, everyone understands the reason behind scaling. In this situation it might have been better for Apple to just let it go live for the developer beta with the understanding that it may take some time to smooth out. After all the delays, it was not a good look to say developers can try this today and then put it on a waitlist.
That would be a horrible way to do this, lets be glad you are not the PM on this project.
 
So I purchase an iPhone 16 pro max with the promise to be able to use Apple Intelligence, to only be told it was coming soon... and now its here but the iPhone 16 is not compatible with it?

I smell a class action lawsuit coming.
It is compatible. The newest devices are required for the best on-device models. Whether that makes a difference in features, that’s unknown. Apple could simply take the approach that if the on-device models doesn’t support a feature, it goes out to the cloud. It will almost certainly make a difference in speed. Having to go to the cloud is going to be slower than doing everything on device.
 
In case anyone wants to know, I installed the beta on iPhone 11 (wasn’t expecting anything at all). Liquid Glass settings is good and that’s the only change I noticed so far.

Joined the waitlist for the new Siri on iPad Pro.
 
Shocking that they didn’t get EU access before they released the info. They had enough time to negotiate. Appalling treatment for us EU customers. We don’t even have Apple News here in Germany. So left behind and so misinformed when we pay a fortune for our devices. Not impressed Apple. Android is awful in my opinion, but Apple is leaving us iPhone fans behind. No selling point for their ios27 ecosystem

Got the Siri app but opening states 'Update in Progress.
Adding support for Siri hasn't completed, Open Settings to check status.'
 
Already impressive! Had a recipe open on Safari on my ipad pro M5–press and hold Siri and asked it to add all the ingredients to my groceries list in reminders. boom, done!

I’m in. First impressions are underwhelming, but I’m hoping that this is down to the phone still indexing. First question I asked was for Siri to find pictures I took in Tokyo. I got a response saying it couldn’t find any photos taken there. I then pulled up a photo myself and asked why Siri couldn’t find it. Siri provided this response:

“This photo is tagged with the location Kaminarimon, Taito, Tokyo, Japan. If a previous search didn’t surface it, it might be due to how the search index was filtering specific location names at that time.”

The one positive I’d give Siri though, is that at least now it can keep listening and continue a conversation thread with back and forth. Hurray for the small wins!
