Apple has officially released iOS 27 developer beta 3, offering developers and testers an early look at one of the most notable improvements to its Siri virtual assistant. According to TechCrunch, this update enables two new voice control sliders: "Pace" and "Expressivity". These features were previously labeled as "Coming soon" in the initial developer beta releases.

This new voice customization feature was first introduced by Apple at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 26) in June 2026. With iOS 27 beta 3, users are no longer limited to just selecting male or female voices or different regional accents. Instead, they can use intuitive sliders to deeply personalize how Siri responds. During the adjustment process, Siri will automatically practice saying common phrases like "You have one new message" so users can directly evaluate the effectiveness of the new settings.
Phân tích kỹ thuật & Công nghệ
This update is part of Apple's broader effort to rebuild Siri around generative artificial intelligence (Generative AI) technology. By allowing adjustments to pace and expressivity, Apple is attempting to make the virtual assistant respond more naturally and human-like. In terms of interface, the new AI-powered Siri is deeply integrated into the iOS operating system, allowing flexible activation via various methods such as swiping down from the Dynamic Island to type, pressing the side button, using traditional voice commands, or via a new standalone Siri app.
Ý kiến chuyên gia & Nhận định
According to TechCrunch, letting users customize how an AI assistant sounds is an important step in making the technology feel more personal. However, compared to competitors in the market, Apple's solution still lags behind OpenAI. Since December 2025, ChatGPT has already allowed deeper adjustments to the warmth and enthusiasm of its voice, alongside offering diverse communication styles like friendly, professional, candid, or quirky, which directly influence how information is presented.
Tác động & Tương lai
Alongside the new Siri features, iOS 27 beta 3 also brings other minor changes, including an updated icon for the Reminders app. Some user reports on social media platform X indicate temporary loss of access to the new Siri after updating, or devices starting to re-index data — a necessary technical step to optimize Siri AI's search capabilities. This development promises to enhance the Apple device experience for Vietnamese users as AI features become more refined.
