iOS 27

Features

Bringing multitasking to the iPhone for the first time, plus apps will get sidebars.

Light on features because Apple also wants to focus on performance and efficiency improvements.

Made for Foldable

A cross between an iPhone and an iPad, foldables will require some major updates to iOS.

It will run iOS, not iPadOS, and it won’t support iPad apps. When unfolded, the iPhone will have an iPad-like layout that supports multitasking with two apps side by side.

Many of Apple’s iPhone apps will have sidebars on the left side of the display, with Apple providing developers with tools to easily adapt their apps to the new layout.

iOS 27

It is said that Apple is going to partner with Google to make new Siri features using AI models. Apple is planning to integrate Siri more deeply into the operating system so that you can have much deeper conversations.

Siri Design Update

There are going to be a lot of design changes. One rumor is that Siri is going to primarily appear on the Dynamic Island with a pill-shaped animation. It is possible that it is going to show results in transparent glass.

Siri is probably not only going to be connected to ChatGPT but also to more AI models like Claude, Gemini, and more. So if you would like a response from Claude and images from ChatGPT, that is going to be possible. All AI models are going to have their different voices so that you can tell how they respond to questions.

On the App Store, there is going to be a section where you can manage downloads and AI integrations.

iOS 27

Chatbot Siri

Apple is planning to turn Siri into a chatbot like ChatGPT or Google Gemini. If that does happen, Siri might also be able to do all the things that chatbots are able to do.

If they are planning this, they might also be planning a Siri app. It will use an iMessage-like layout and can show you information sources. All of this is going to be possible with the partnership of Google.

Personal Context

On the new iOS, Siri is going to be able to keep track of your emails, messages, files, photos, and much more. You can control your emails and messages without limits or keep track of anything you need.

iOS 27

Onscreen Awareness

Siri is going to have onscreen awareness so that it will know what you’re referring to. Imagine there is a product on the screen and you would like to know its name. With onscreen awareness, you can do that in minutes.

Advanced Research

There is a possibility that Siri will be able to search for information from the web just like ChatGPT.

Privacy

Now let’s talk about privacy. There are going to be a lot of concerns, but worry not, we are talking about Apple. Apple is going to limit the memory of the AI, and on top of that, some information is going to get deleted after a period of time.

iOS 27

New AI Features

If we talk about AI features, there are a lot of cool upcoming features. The new iOS 27 is going to be loaded with features like image generation, writing tools, and more.

Image

Yes, AI image generation was already introduced to us, but this time it is going to come back with a bigger punch. It is said that it is going to make images more realistic, with options to change some parts of the images or replace generated elements.

Genmoji

These are features we were told about a long time ago, but now they are going to make them better. Based on your conversation, it will suggest the best Genmoji. On top of that, this feature is going to lower CPU and memory usage.

AI Wallpaper Generator

You will be able to make your own custom wallpapers from a prompt. At first, it doesn’t look like a big feature, but you don’t know how big of a problem it solves.

First, you need to find a wallpaper, which can be really annoying. Then there are fishy websites that are risky to download from. Then there is the issue of whether the phone can support the image. With this feature, all those problems are fixed. I am really happy and looking forward to this feature.

AI-Powered Shortcuts

Now there is no need to create your shortcuts manually. You can just say something like, “Create a shortcut so that when I get to my workplace, turn on Low Power Mode and Do Not Disturb mode.”

Writing Tools

The new iOS 27 is also going to come with writing tools. There are going to be new capabilities and a grammar checker.

The new capabilities include more advanced text generation, battery tools, battery summarization, and more features like “Write with Siri” and “Help Me Write.”

The Grammar Checker is more focused on fixing your grammar, style, and sentences with side-by-side comparisons. You can decide whether you accept the corrections, and more is expected.

Photos AI

There are going to be major changes in AI photos. They are expected to release tools that allow photos to Extend, Enhance, and Reframe.

Other Integrations

We expect other integrations like AI Calendar and AI health features. With the help of AI, these are getting better and more efficient.

iOS 27

Design Changes

There’s a possibility that Apple apps like Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and other apps are going to get some design changes.

Even the keyboard animations are going to have some changes, and Apple is also thinking about adding Undo and Redo controls when you’re customizing the Home Screen so it becomes less frustrating.

That’s not all. They’re going to add more customization to Liquid Glass. You can increase or reduce the transparency. This changes the whole design of all your apps.

Accessibility Features

The new iOS 27 is also going to be a major upgrade for people in need. Yes, it will add new features, but it will also improve hearing, vision, communication, and gaming accessibility.

VoiceOver Image Explorer

This is a new powerful feature that Apple is going to add, which is going to describe photos, screenshots, documents, or any kind of visual content. It is going to read them out loud.

The phone camera can be pointed at something and asked what it is showing, and it will describe it in detail.

Magnifier App

The Magnifier app is going to receive AI-powered improvements and new features like natural language support, hand detection, scene descriptions, spoken object identification, and voice control actions.

Smart Voice Control

Voice Control is going to get more convenient.

Accessibility Reader Improvements

It is going to be able to support more categories of articles and documents like scientific papers, research articles, and more.

The new feature will include automatic summaries, on-demand explanations, translation, and more.

It is also going to support more features like generated subtitles, better hearing aid support, expanded name recognition, gaming accessibility improvements, FaceTime sign language support, and touch accommodations.

All of these categories will get AI integration that improves the basic features while adding additional features to help even more.

iOS 27

Other Features

Custom Wallet

There are some things that Wallet does not currently accept, but after this update, you’re going to be able to add any type of digital pass to Wallet without interruption.

There are going to be three main categories that Apple may add to Wallet: event passes, membership passes, and other passes. You can customize the color and image as well.

Camera App Redesign

It is said that the Camera app is going to get a major redesign, and you’re going to be able to customize every inch of the app. It depends on what type of layout you prefer.

Apple is also planning to add a new Siri camera mode, where we’re going to see more features.

There’s also going to be a redesign of the Weather app and Safari.

Apple is also planning to do a lot of things with its satellite technology. For the moment, we’re just using satellites to send messages and for network support, but Apple is planning to use them for Maps as well and improve the 5G network.

iOS 27

Compatibility

It’s not 100% sure which series are going to get iOS 27. There are rumors saying that it may support the iPhone 11 series through the new iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone Air and the iPhone SE (3rd generation), but that is all we can say for now.

Why iOS 27 Is So Hyped?

I think this is going to be even more hyped than Liquid Glass that we saw last year, mainly because it’s going to have heavy AI integration with a lot of customization and more features that are going to be impressive and helpful.

Expected Release Date

Everything is going to be revealed officially at WWDC 2026, but it may happen during the June 6–12 timeframe.

FAQ Section

Will iOS 27 improve Siri?

No, it’s not just going to improve Siri; Apple is going to redesign it, and we’re going to see Siri in a new form. All the things Siri will be able to do are expected to be unmatched in the market.

When will iOS 27 release?

We are going to see iOS 27 on the iPhone 18, which is expected to release in September.

Conclusion

This could be a major breakthrough, but it also might not be, because it’s not exclusive to the iPhone 18. It is also going to be available for the iPhone 17 series and lower series.

This major upgrade was also realized because of the iPhone Ultra, so I guess there are going to be some features that only the Ultra is going to have and that the regular iPhone won’t have.
