New Siri Waitlist

[johnsawyercjs]

I’m wondering: has anyone gotten access to Siri over the weekend or is the waitlist only rolling out on business days?

I just got New Siri on my iPhone 17PM some time this morning (Saturday) while I was asleep. Before I went to bed last night/this morning at about 3:30 am Pacific Time, I checked and found I was still on the Siri waiting list, so I was finally approved (after getting on the list last Monday) some time between that and today around 1pm when I checked again.

In a way, this rollout to developers feels indicative of how far behind Apple is with AI.

15PM & 16P got Siri 2.0 about noon today. Wait list Monday at 3pm to 4pm

I finally got in! 1000% it is tied to indexing - indexing and waitlist both finished simultaneously after waiting since Monday evening.

Indexing finished for me on Thursday morning. I was off waitlist on Tuesday night.

huh? That makes no sense whatsoever so ever. More so when you put into context earlier Siri betas some users had to wait a few weeks to get access and It’s good business practice to slowly rollout things that involve servers being hit with requests etc.

Not at all, I got it and it’s still doing index. Wife got access within two hours of install of the beta two days ago and she is still indexing. Another test account I have the phone finished indexing and it’s still waiting 1 day later

What iPhone do y’all have? I still got in a day after with my 15 pro

why is everyone posting / complaining that their phones are still indexing when apple has said to developers and some media people that the initial index could take a over a week? potentially 2 weeks, remembering that previous iOS updates they often did too, but they didn't tell you. This change is more to stop users from crying that their battery life on a new os sucks for the first week. ( well it won't stop most people.. but it will stop a few )

👆🏻 this was also mentioned when someone asked bout it in the Tuesday evening WWDC Group Lab discussion with the AI/ML/Apple Intelligence engineers. 👩🏻‍💻 watched it live

I didn’t install the developer beta on my iPhone 17 Pro until Tuesday morning and immediately joined the waitlist, I got the notification on Thursday that Siri AI had been downloaded while I was at work at around 3 PM Eastern.

When I got home I installed the developer beta on my M2 iPad Pro and it downloaded and was available right after the developer beta installation completed.

For what it’s worth, my iPhone is still indexing, that hasn’t seemed to matter for me at all in terms of being able to use Siri AI though I’m not pushing it too much yet with a bunch of personal requests, and I do subscribe to iCloud+ through the Apple One family plan that’s associated with my account.

I figured it wouldn’t be wise to try and start to form an opinion on how well that does and doesn’t work at this point in the process while it’s still indexing, and yes I did try a hard restart to see if it was a bug, and it didn’t seem to make a difference. It doesn’t feel like it’s hindered my ability use the phone and search for things as I always had prior to Siri AI.

I’ll start pushing it more when it’s done indexing.

installed on my iPad Pro about 9 pm Eastern Tuesday night. Still indexing, still on the waitlist.

It doesn’t have to make sense to you. Advanced AI models have been in the wild for a while now yet Apple announces something that even some developers can’t access. I understand you need to be argumentative, but that’s my opinion.
