Well, these are just the upper highlights of the features. To know more about them, read the whole blog.
New Siri
The update in Siri is one of the biggest and awaited feature. In iOS 26, IT was expected to have all the skills of AI, but it disappointed everyone. This time the thing is different, it has become more conversational, context aware and capable of featuring natural back and forth conversational with a memory storage for the previous chat. Siri will also have its own app with full system integration, advanced tools to generate text, summarise documents and do the important things. It can do web search, deeper app control, edit messages, snd adding songs to the playlist. It can also sync your cross history from other Apple devices.
In iOS 27, Siri will have a more natural and expressive voice, and you can adjust the pace and expressiveness of it.
Siri in Camera
Ever thought Siri could be just like Google Lens, might be better than that? that exactly what’s going to happen in Siri mode. You just need to open the camera of your phone, scan anything like a plant, dish, place or anything you like and ask about it. It will process and tell you everything about it instantly. So from now on, you do not need to type or Google anything, just pick up your phone, scan the thing and get your answers.
Apple Intelligence in Photos
The new iOS feature allows you to edit your photo like never before. The Apple Intelligence enters the photo section, it does three things: extend, enhance, and reframe. these the names of tools which will help you to fix, improve, and completely transform your photo.
Extent–
Ever took a photo and wanted to include more space in that? Well, the Extent tool can fix that with a simple pinching outward on any picture. The AI will generate the missing background.
Enhance–
Ever took a picture in dim light and want to brighten it? With Enhance, you can increase the brightness of your picture. No need to take your photo to any editing app, just one click, and you’re good to go.
Reframe–
Ever took an image in a good background, but want to change the angle, so you’re gonna click another? Well, not anymore. Reframing allows you to change the perspective and angle of your shot.
Apple intelligence Across Your iPhone
iOS 27 will not only make your Siri smart, but it will also make your iPhone smarter by digging Apple intelligence deep into the apps you use every day. Messages, calendars, Safari, and even the Home app will get upgraded. In messages, it can suggest better actions based on the convo, it will create a reminder in the middle of the chat, save your location to maps, and much more.
This goes with the Mail app, as the feature can draft smarter replies that sound much like you, summarise a long email and suggest action according to the email.
In the calendar, you can set a reminder just by speaking, and the calendar will automatically create a full event and put the location on the reminder too. Safari will group all the tabs you open, so all of your tabs look organised and easy to find.
New Child Safety Feature
In the parental feature of Apple iOS 27, now the guardians and parents have much more control over their children’s iPhones. They can look at which specific app their child wants to install and can deny the install if required. It can tell which website their child visits most, who calls or message him most. for the kid under 13, it gets even more strict. Every new visit to the website, any order requires parents’ permission.
Redefining Liquid Glass
When Apple introduced the liquid glass design in iOS 26, people got excited for the new theme change, but after the launch of iOS 26, most people had problems like hard-to-read text, transparency problems and more issues. but in the WWDC, Apple announced the transparency slider that will allow you to decide how much transparency you want according to your needs. Apple has also improved the contrast and the readability across the entire interface, so the text and icons are much clearer and sharper.
So these were the major updates of Apple iOS 27 introduced on 8 June at WWDC. From Siri to changing the setting of liquid glass design, these are some of the updates in iOS. Now the question is, what is the release date of iOS 27? The answer is developer dropped the beta version on the same day as the official announcement. For the regular user, the public beta will be available in July, and the full official launch of iOS 27 is coming in the month of September with the new iPhone 18. So if you don’t have any bugs in your system, you need to wait till September.
