Apple appears to be gearing up for a major leap in artificial intelligence across its software ecosystem. According to a report, iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 will feature significant updates to Apple Intelligence and the company’s broader AI strategy.
The news follows earlier reports that iOS 26.4, expected to launch this spring, will finally introduce the long-awaited upgraded Siri. Interestingly, this smarter version of Siri is said to benefit from Google’s behind-the-scenes technology, marking a surprising collaboration between the two tech rivals.
The latest report suggests that the AI advancements in iOS 27 could go beyond Siri, reshaping how Apple devices use intelligence across the system. While details remain under wraps, the updates are expected to debut during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2026. Both iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 are expected to roll out publicly in September 2026, alongside the iPhone 18 lineup.
So far, Apple’s AI efforts have lagged behind those of competitors like Google and Samsung, which have aggressively integrated generative AI into their devices. With these upcoming releases, Apple may finally be ready to take a stronger position in the AI race.
If iOS 26.4 brings the smarter Siri many have been waiting for, iOS 27 could be the turning point that defines Apple’s next big move in artificial intelligence.
