Apple Intelligence missing on iPhone and Mac after iOS 27/macOS 27.

Hey there! I just upgraded to iOS 27 and macOS 27 on my devices, and they’re ready for Apple Intelligence. It’s been five days since the update—my friends already have the new Siri AI, but I’m still on the waitlist. I’ve tried everything I can think of to move things along, but I’m still waiting. I’m not sure what to do next, so I’ve attached my Siri settings from both my iPhone and Mac. Any ideas would be super helpful!

You need to be connected to WiFi as is clearly stated in the screenshot you posted.

Which model is your MacBook Air? You'll need a Mac with M1 or later.

Apple Intelligence will be available on these devices: How to get the next generation of Apple Intelligence - Apple Support

"Apple Intelligence in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27 are available on iPhone 16 models or later, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone Air, iPad mini (A17 Pro), MacBook Neo (A18 Pro), iPad models with M1 or later, Mac with M1 or later, Apple Vision Pro, Apple Watch Series 9 or later, Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later, and Apple Watch SE 3 when paired with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone; some features require iPhone nearby."


For the supported regions see: How to get Siri AI - Apple Support

Apple is very vague about the supported regions:

"Siri AI is available in beta for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, visionOS 27, and watchOS 27 when your device language and Siri language are set to the same supported language and your Apple Account is in an eligible region.....

Siri AI is currently available in English. Availability varies by region and platform. After you turn on Siri AI, it will continue to work when you travel to other regions.

I’ve got everything ready—my iPhone 16 and MacBook Air M4 both support Siri AI, and I’m in the right area. It’s a bit frustrating because all my friends already have the features while I’m still waiting. Thanks so much for your patience and for getting back to me; it really helps!
