Apple has now released the public betas for iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate and its other new software, setting up the latest episode of the Engadget Podcast.
In the episode, Devindra Hardawar and Nathan Ingraham discuss their early impressions of Siri AI and the performance gains in Apple’s latest releases. Their takeaway: Siri AI looks genuinely useful so far, and may be less irritating for everyday users than Microsoft’s Copilot.
The show also turns to OpenAI’s rumored hardware plans, including reports of a “humanlike” portable speaker. The hosts try to sort through the confusion around the device, along with the broader dispute in which Apple called OpenAI’s hardware business “rotten to the core” and OpenAI responded.
The episode is divided into these segments:
