Apple watchOS 27.0 RC Released

watchOS 27.0 RC is a candidate version Apple pushes to Apple Watch users, with main changes focused on Siri AI capabilities. In this version, Siri is powered by Apple Intelligence at the underlying level, no longer limited to simple commands, but able to handle open-ended questions and multi-turn continuous conversations.

For example, users can directly ask on their wrist for post-run recovery stretching suggestions and ask follow-up questions about movement details. This means the voice assistant on smartwatches is evolving from tool-based interaction to more natural conversational AI, reducing dependence on the phone.

This update brings AI capabilities down to wearable device scenarios, reflecting that Apple is promoting large-model-driven intelligent assistants to more hardware platforms. For developers, the Siri interface in watchOS 27 may bring new app interaction methods, but the specific open capabilities still need to be followed in subsequent documentation.

From an industry perspective, the combination of smartwatches and AI is one of the important directions for on-device large model applications. Apple's choice to strengthen Siri AI on watchOS may push other manufacturers to accelerate AI assistant upgrades on wearable devices, but the actual experience still needs to be verified after the official version is released.
