The topic iOS 27 is coming Monday: New features, compatibility, more<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re just two days away from iOS 27 being announced WWDC, and rumors are waiting a clear picture of what to expect.<\/p>\n

The update will reportedly bring a focus on stability improvements and bug fixes, with some big new Apple Intelligence features sprinkled in. Here\u2019s everything we know so far about new iOS 27 features, the update\u2019s release date, and more.<\/p>\n

Apple will announce iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 on June 8. The update will be announced during the opening keynote at 10 a.m. PT\/1 p.m. ET, and subsequently released in beta testing for developers.<\/p>\n

An iOS 27 public beta will then be released in July, allowing iPhone users to try new features and give feedback to Apple.<\/p>\n

If all goes according to the data plan, iOS 27 will then be released to the general public in September. Here are the release dates for major iOS updates over the last five years:<\/p>\n

iOS 27 will reportedly drop support for these iPhone models:<\/p>\n

Bloomberg reports that Apple\u2019s primary focus with iOS 27 will be on \u201cquality and underlying performance.\u201d This comes after several years of massive iOS updates, including the launch of Apple Intelligence with iOS 18 and the dramatic Liquid Glass redesign with iOS 26.<\/p>\n

Mark Gurman says that Apple engineers are \u201ccombing through Apple\u2019s operating systems\u201d looking for bloat to cut and bugs to fix, along with \u201cany opportunity to meaningfully boost performance and overall quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea is to take a step back after the last several significant iOS updates and lay the groundwork for a new wave of major updates going forward. Think of it as a sort of reset. Apple hopes the update will improve iPhone battery life for users.<\/p>\n

One aspect of iOS 27 will be optimizing the software platform for Apple\u2019s first foldable iPhone, which is set to launch in September 2026. The foldable iPhone is set to have an approximately 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer display. Apple will need to make changes to iOS 27 to accommodate that new form factor, as well as add new features to take advantage of the larger screen.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg says Apple will \u201cprioritize software features tailored specifically to this new form factor.\u201d<\/p>\n

In particular, the most recent Bloomberg report suggests Apple is planning to add new windowing features to iOS 27 for the iPhone Fold. The device will allegedly allow you to run two apps side-by-side, something not currently possible on an iPhone.<\/p>\n

Apple is also reportedly developing new iOS app layouts for its own apps to accommodate the larger size of the inner iPhone Fold display. Third-party developers will also be able to adopt these layouts in their apps.<\/p>\n

Apple is continuing its work on an AI-powered web search platform that could ship as part of iOS 27. This will be a new platform designed to rival AI search features from companies like Perplexity.<\/p>\n

Apple also recently finalized its deal with Google to use Gemini models to power new Siri and Apple Intelligence features. according to the data a report from The Information, Apple is set to use Gemini models to power several iOS 27 features.<\/p>\n

according to the data Bloomberg, iOS 27 will include a standalone Siri chatbot app that will look similar to apps like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. The app will let you communicate with Apple\u2019s chatbot (powered by a Gemini model from Google) with a grid of conversations, the ability to upload files and photos, auto-deleting chats, and more.<\/p>\n

Apple has reportedly completely redesigned Siri as part of iOS 27. It will now live inside the Dynamic Island with a design similar to the WWDC invite artwork, seen above. Bloomberg reports:<\/p>\n

Apple has redesigned Siri for modern iPhone hardware, making it live inside the Dynamic Island, an on-screen element that the company first introduced in 2022. When a user says \u201cSiri\u201d or holds down on the power button, the assistant opens in the Dynamic Island with a new animation that replaces the glowing interface that currently sits around the edges of an iPhone\u2019s screen. This mode, which will have a dark-toned interface, is best suited for voice-based queries and search.<\/p>\n

Additionally, you will be able to swipe down from the top center of their iPhone\u2019s screen to launch a \u201cSearch or Ask\u201d interface. This is where iOS 27 will surface Siri Suggestions for frequently used apps, recent searches, notes, and more.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg reports that iOS 27 will include a more powerful grammar checker similar to Grammarly:<\/p>\n

The system appears in a translucent menu that slides up from the bottom of the screen and displays original text alongside suggested revisions.<\/p>\n

Users can accept individual suggestions, approve all changes or ignore them altogether. There are also controls to pause grammar checking and navigate between flagged sections of text.<\/p>\n

Apple is also adding a \u201cWrite With Siri\u201d toggle that appears at the top of the keyboard, as well as a \u201cHelp Me Write\u201d button that \u201cappears when users activate Siri while working in a text field.\u201d<\/p>\n

iOS 27 will let you use natural language to create shortcuts simply by describing what you want them to do. Currently, you have to manually add and remove actions to build your shortcut.<\/p>\n

iOS 27 will reportedly include a new feature that lets you generate custom wallpapers using AI. The feature will build on the existing Image Playground app and appear in the wallpaper picking interface.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg reports that there is no evidence iOS 27 will include major changes to the Liquid Glass interface. Apple might, however, add a slider that gives you more control over the design.<\/p>\n

Mark Gurman says that Apple started working on this Liquid Glass slider during the iOS 26 cycle, but ran into engineering challenges. The slider would reportedly let you \u201cfinely control the level of the glass effect.\u201d Whether Apple successfully conquers those challenges in iOS 27 remains to be seen, but it\u2019s something in the works.<\/p>\n

While Apple isn\u2019t planning major changes to Liquid Glass, it is working on some tweaks to \u201cstreamline\u201d the interface.<\/p>\n

One of the key aspects of iOS 26 was the new tab bar design, where the search button sits separately from the rest of the navigation bar. In iOS 27, Apple plans to combine the search tab with the other tabs in apps such as Podcasts, TV, Music, Health, and News.<\/p>\n

iOS 26 completely redesigned the camera app. With iOS 27, Apple is planning to make the Camera app fully customizable. You\u2019ll be able to choose which features appear in the Camera app interface, and where they are placed. Apple has developed a new \u201cAdd Widgets\u201d system in the Camera app for these customization features.<\/p>\n

Apple is also adding Visual Intelligence directly to the Camera app this year. The feature will also be able to recognize nutrition labels and contact information.<\/p>\n

Apple will reportedly add three new photo editing features to the Photos app in iOS 27:<\/p>\n

Additionally, the existing \u201cClean Up\u201d feature in the Photos app is reportedly getting \u201csignificant improvements\u201d as part of iOS 27.<\/p>\n

Apple is also testing \u201cnatural language prompt-based editing of photos\u201d in iOS 27, but it\u2019s possible this feature won\u2019t debut as part of the initial update.<\/p>\n

Apple has two big new features planned for Apple Wallet in iOS 27.<\/p>\n

While details are sparse, Bloomberg has reported that Apple is working on a big overhaul for the Calendar app:<\/p>\n

Apple is working on a revamped Calendar app for release across its platforms. It originally planned to introduce the software [in 2026], but it\u2019s been delayed and is now slated for the subsequent set of operating systems\u2026iOS 27 and macOS 27<\/p>\n

Macworld found references to a few iOS 27 features based on a leaked build of Apple\u2019s software last summer.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t any further details about these two features. It\u2019s also possible they\u2019ve been scrapped altogether.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg has also shared a few additional tidbits on iOS 27 features:<\/p>\n
