New Siri Waitlist

My guess is you’re only on the actual waitlist once you’ve finished indexing to a certain degree. Providing access to Siri doesn’t make sense if she can’t provide decent responses, which can only happen if enough data is indexed and readily accessible.
 
Been on the waitlist and indexing for about a week now. Been charging with MagSafe (iPhone), live in Norway, and on the iPhone 16. I have not restarted my phone since Wednesday.

Edit: Forgot to mention but I'm on a 200 GB iCloud plan

My wife needed the Mac Mini to work from home and connect to her office workstation.

I'm going to see if this can "replace" a MacBook. My usage isn't intensive—mostly web browsing, YouTube, Netflix, Crave, social media...just the basics.

I connected it to an external monitor via a dock station. It's nice, but so far I'm realizing it's not quite on par with a laptop. It's less fluid than macOS, especially for moving windows around, among other things.

I bought it at Costco for $1,029 CAD instead of $1,099, so I have 90 days to return it if it doesn't work out, which is a huge plus.

Another big plus is that I can bring it to work and use it to watch Netflix or Crave during lunch.

I would have gone with a MacBook Neo if it had 12GB of RAM.
 
I don’t know if it was connected but, I normally don’t use the iOS Mail app, but I configured it and within 30 minutes I was granted access to the New Siri.
I use 3rd party email.
Still indexing since Last Tuesday morning, but got New Siri
iPad M4 512 8 GB ram
 
Indexing finished yesterday, still on the waitlist for the new Siri, 1 tb is being used on a 2tb iPhone, 509 gb used on a 1 tb iCloud account.

Indexing took about 8 days give or take.
 
I’ve come across an interesting observation.

I installed the iOS 27 Beta 1 developer build on my iPhone 15 Pro Max the day after the keynote, so exactly one week ago. Despite this, the device remained in the “Still Indexing” state and I was still on the Siri waitlist right up until this morning.

Today I replaced the phone with a new iPhone 15 Pro Max after damaging the back of the original device. Once the replacement was set up and iOS 27 was reinstalled, I noticed that the Siri icon in Settings initially displayed the new Apple Intelligence/Siri branding, even though launching Siri still presented the older Siri experience.

After approximately an hour, the phone reverted to showing “Still Indexing”, the Siri icon automatically switched back to the previous version, and I was placed back on the waitlist.

It appears that the device briefly recognised eligibility for the new Siri experience before reverting to the standard provisioning process.

I completed indexing days ago and still not in, so doubt it'll be that I'm afraid.

Reactions: CouldBeWorse
After nearly a week on the wait list here in Mauritius, today morning when I woke up, New Siri was here on my 17 pro. Looks good but New Siri does not go fetch information from the Internet. "Sorry, something's wrong. Please try again." Well, this is DB1, let's wait and see.
