Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗
Apple is rolling out Siri AI gradually to manage server capacity and ensure a smooth user experience.
Users are placed on a waitlist to control the load on Apple's servers, allowing for a phased activation process. This approach helps Apple monitor demand and allocate resources effectively, ensuring optimal performance for all users.
If you need more help, contact Apple Support directly.
Take care! 👋🏼😉

I have now been on Siri waitlist for more than 60 hours. Is that to be expected?
As this is new to all of us, that's hard to answer. I know of people who got it immediately. It took about 24 hours for me. I imagine it depends on where you are in the queue but I have no definitive information. I doubt anyone outside of Apple knows the answer to this.

I thought Siri Apple intelligence, ran on my iPad and not on a server unless needed. Why the roll out when it runs on your device. Is the not why we bought the high powered devices.
It does both, on the device using the Foundation AI models downloaded after you are removed from the Waitlist and also using Private Cloud Compute.

It's a perfectly reasonable thing to want to know. However, there is no answer to give you. View this as an opportunity to practice patience. That's something that will serve you well throughout your life.
