Apple has added infrastructure in the seventh beta of its upcoming operating systems to show personalized wait-time estimates after users join the Siri AI waitlist, 9to5Mac reports. The estimate is set by a server, allowing Apple to vary access according to demand and capacity for tasks that cannot run on-device. Beta users previously reported waits commonly ranging from one to two weeks, and the report says the waitlist appears likely to continue into release versions.
