iOS27 on iPhone 17 for AI siri waiting list seems to be unending and disappointing

iOS27 on iPhone 17 for AI siri waiting list seems to be unending. It seem to be a bad beginning for the new Apple CEO John Ternus. Customer waiting time is horrible experience. They should launch it when they are ready, maybe even announce schedules, but keeping customers in the dark is a sign of arrogance. Saying you care is not just words but action and culture. I'm sure many Apple top executives are aware of what is this problem, but not getting response is disappointing. After the start of iPhones it is the first time it is making me feel worth my time to shift from Apple OS to Android. I have no experience but waiting so long, I could easily give them a chance.

iPhone 17, iOS 27

It isn't about patience and awaiting turn, but more about rushing in unprepared and then managing expectations through unofficial posts. The silence of the company about the fact that unprepared, not ready for download software are put up for launch. It would have been good to say coming soon and announcing a fixed date when it is ready. We have managed to download almost 1GB data for iOS27 almost instantaneously so these reasons seem weak and expectation are clarity and transparency in times of instant information. I could have come to download it a week later.


They kept giving lame fixes like check language (English US or English UK) across all applications and devices, they asked to keep Free Space, The next they even asked to keep device plugged in overnight on WIFI all these are making us go on a wild goose chase while they aren't exactly ready. I'm not going to sue the company for this but they could and should have valued my time.

Learn how to be patient and wait your turn.
