Apple rolled out its operating system 27.2 update, expanding features and language support for its AI assistant Siri AI. The update adds the ability to remember previous conversations and use broader personal context, and introduces Korean and four other languages. It also adds settings to control which apps Siri and related functions can access and enables copying selected sentences from Siri AI responses. Apple said additional languages are planned by year-end, while availability remains limited in mainland China and the EU.

Competition in AI wearables is spreading beyond familiar formats to necklace-style pendants, rings, wrist devices and portable terminals. Products range from productivity-focused devices that record and summarise meetings and calls to AI companions that respond to users’ emotions. Recently launched or in-development devices highlight functions such as conversation logs, scheduling, personalised advice and emotional support. Pricing, privacy features and integration with smartphones are cited as key factors shaping market leadership.
