Apple Didn't Really Say What's Coming in iOS 27, So I Guess I Will

OS 27 could bring major AI upgrades, smarter Siri, and big iOS performance and stability improvements. Here’s everything we’ve heard so far about the 2026 iOS update.

Apple finally let Siri have its main-character moment. After months of rumors and years of playing catch-up in the AI race, the tech titan used its Worldwide Developers Conference today to unveil iOS 27 — a software update packed with artificial intelligence features,

Apple said that one major improvement for Siri is that users will be able to converse back and forth with Siri. After asking Siri about the World Cup in a demo, the user is able to pull down the tab to access a new text input field and more information about, in the example, World Cup matches. Siri's answers are also longer.

During its Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple is expected to announce a new version of Siri that could help it catch up in the AI race.

Apple hasn't even unveiled iOS 27 yet, but the company is reportedly already working on something much bigger. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, iOS 28 is shaping up to be a far more significant update than this year's iOS upgrade.

Developers found iOS 27 beta references to fold states and multiple displays, fueling speculation that Apple is preparing for a foldable iPhone.
