People who are still on Chrome as main browser should seriously try Safari 27. Compatibility greatly improved, super speedy.

Although for some reason the AI organise tab option is not showing up on me.

Can this AI integration now mean that Siri can finally just read the wikipedia page of a topic when I am driving? Or can I finally have Siri add a stop at Mcdonalds on google maps during a road trip?

I've been using it for several months since the developer beta came out; overall I'm extremely positive on it. One of their better releases that seemingly focused more on quality and refinements than new-features. Siri is definitely worth using now, even if it remains still a work-in-progress/needs continued refinement. It can surprise you in good ways, but it isn't consistently good yet. The keyboard remains unfixed…

re keyboard: i don't get how the keyboard on the iphone can be so broken. meanwhile the small keyboard on the ipad works like a charm.

or am i the only one experiencing it like this?

Is it just me or is clicking “iOS 27” on iPhone showing upgrade screen for 26.7?

Same here. It’s over 5 GB, therefore is not 26.7. Upgrading, let’s see.

Adding a stop at McDonalds on Google Maps won't necessarily work unless Google provides the hooks to accomplish that.

But yes, it can give you information on a topic in a way the old Siri couldn't.

How is the keyboard broken? Maybe I'm so used to whatever it is that I'm blind to it.

try using swipe-type on an android and you'll see. the funny thing is it's been this way since the iphone 1 because iphone 1 didn't have swipe-type while very early android did (via "swype").

macOS has the prior keycombo for 'home' and 'end' occupied for other uses.

   command + up/down arrow

I don't know how to read to the bottom of a webpage and jump immediately to the top of page.

Plus, the global key at bottom left fails for keyboard shortcut input when defining new binding for managing windowing rearrangement.

I was surprised to see that macOS is 28GB. Is that all the local models that come with it?

Are they still using Gemini? Curious to see how fast all these AI features will feel.

They've never used Gemini, and they are not using Gemini here. Gemini and Siri AI are both based on Google technology though.

I personally use the swiping keyboard on ios and it seems to detect the wrong word with an almost malicious frequency. It also randomly Capitalizes things.
