Turkish Siri AI era begins for Apple Watch: Features coming with watchOS 27.3

Apple is preparing to release watchOS 27.3, the new version of its smartwatch operating system, to all users next month.  The anticipated update brings three key additions to watch models, ranging from artificial intelligence (AI)-powered voice assistant capabilities to new audio intelligence functions. Most importantly, Turkish language support is also arriving for Siri, as this was the most awaited feature.

Siri AI gains four new languages and new app actions

With the watchOS 27.3 update, Siri AI expands its operational capabilities across built-in apps. Users can now perform more actions directly from their wrists via voice commands in the Calendar, Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, Notes, Photos, and Weather apps.

The aspect of the update directly concerning users in Turkey is the expansion of language support. Siri AI will begin operating in four new languages with watchOS 27.3. The newly supported languages are listed as Turkish, Traditional Chinese, Norwegian, and Vietnamese.

Feature that converts the last 15 seconds to text: Live Rewind

Added to the latest Apple Watch models, the Audio Intelligence-powered Live Rewind feature aims to help users catch conversations missed during daily communication. When users double-press the Digital Crown, words spoken within the last 15 seconds appear on the screen as a text snippet.

In the demo presented at Apple's September event, the feature was shown helping a user who could not clearly hear a waiter explaining the food menu read the words on the screen. Users can ask Siri questions about the generated text snippet or save the recording directly to the Siri app.

Siri Recap is coming only to high-end models

Another addition in the update, Siri Recap, will be available only on Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 models. Disabled by default, once turned on, Siri automatically converts events and conversations experienced by the user throughout the day into journals.

These daily summarized logs are automatically deleted from the system after one week. The feature comes into play especially when details and important points from conversations during the day need to be recalled.

Current pricing status for devices and accessories

Alongside the new software update, price points for several devices in the Apple ecosystem were also clarified. Following the price updates, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 dropped from $799 to $699, while the AirPods Pro 3 earbuds are listed at $199 instead of $249. The company is also offering a 15 percent discount on refurbished Apple Watch products.
