I am 100% sure there will be a `defaults write ...` command and/or a policy setting via Apple Configurator (mobileconfig profile) to disable it completely.
They will probably push hard on the "enabled by default" part. Since they are literally paying millions to Google...

of course it is, all the cute little options to toggle off AI are only temporary... it's going to be inextricably baked into systems as time goes on, especially if it's a local model

Only into systems you don't control. Not into systems you do control unless you want it baked-in. You'd think those frogs would be boiled by now but those which aren't can still escape the pot to hop from the former towards one of the latter.

The author missed the big red "Turn Siri Off" button at the bottom of the same preferences window that they're using as proof that it can't be turned off. https://imgur.com/a/hB5fWLS

Apps continue to have their own "Apple Intelligence and Siri" preferences in iOS 27. https://imgur.com/a/1Oq6i8S

This post is incorrect.
I have the 27 betas installed on my iPad and Mac. Siri is off on both.
