Apple’s next major software update, iOS 27, is still some distance away. However, early leaks already offer a clear picture of where the company is heading. The update is expected to focus less on flashy design changes and more on making the system faster, smarter, and more reliable for everyday users.
Apple plans to introduce the first iOS 27 beta during WWDC 2026 in June. If the usual timeline holds, the public release should follow in September for supported iPhone models.
According to the source, iOS 27 will follow a strategy similar to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Apple is said to prioritize overall quality and core performance. Still, the update will not be short on features. Many of them will center on Apple Intelligence.
Here are the main iOS 27 features currently rumored:
- Siri is expected to become more personal and useful. The assistant will likely get a new look, offer proactive suggestions, and remember past conversations. A more advanced version is also planned after iOS 26.4.
- Apple Intelligence will expand across several apps. An AI-powered calendar is rumored, alongside a new Apple Health+ subscription. This service may include an AI health coach for nutrition planning and medical guidance. Google Gemini is also expected to support some of these tools.
- iOS 27 may introduce 5G satellite internet support. This feature could remain exclusive to the iPhone 18 Pro models. Apple is also said to test Apple Maps via satellite and photo sharing in Messages over satellite connections.
As development continues, more details should surface in the coming months. Until then, iOS 27 already looks like a meaningful step toward a faster and smarter iPhone experience.
