While iOS 26.2 is expected to be released in December with AirPods Live Translation in the EU and other changes, we\u2019re already starting to get information about next year\u2019s iOS 27 update.<\/p>\n<p>In his latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2025-11-23\/apple-ios-27-snow-leopard-like-quality-focus-ai-features-tim-cook-retirement-mibq7jv8?srnd=undefined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Power On newsletter<\/a>, Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman is reporting that iOS 27 will focus on polish and new AI features. The reporter compared the update to the release of macOS \u201cSnow Leopard\u201d back in 2009, which mostly delivered performance improvements following the release of macOS \u201cLeopard\u201d two years earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Apple having a solid beta testing program, major software releases often come with unexpected bugs and performance issues, and iOS 27 was no exception. That\u2019s why we saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thurrott.com\/mobile\/327546\/apple-releases-ios-26-0-1-and-macos-tahoe-26-0-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple release iOS 26.0.1 in late September<\/a>, which brought important bug fixes before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thurrott.com\/apple\/329185\/apple-releases-ios-26-1-ipados-26-1-and-macos-26-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iOS 26.1 came earlier this month<\/a> with a couple of new features<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAiming to improve the software, engineering teams are now combing through Apple\u2019s operating systems, hunting for bloat to cut, bugs to eliminate, and any opportunity to meaningfully boost performance and overall quality. Like Snow Leopard set the groundwork for future overhauls and new types of Macs, iOS 27 will lay the foundation for\u00a0foldable iPhones\u00a0and\u00a0other new hardware,\u201d Gurman explained.<\/p>\n<p>While a focus on quality is always welcome, Apple is also lagging when it comes to AI features, and the company hopes to start catching up next year. According to Gurman, this will start in the Spring with the release of a revamped Siri coming in iOS 26.4. With iOS 27, Apple is also expected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thurrott.com\/a-i\/324177\/apple-is-reportedly-working-on-chatgpt-like-search-product\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">introduce its own AI-powered web search tool<\/a> to compete with ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other \u201canswer engines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInternally, Apple has also been testing a\u00a0full-fledged chatbot app\u00a0dubbed Veritas. It serves as an internal, text-based proving ground for the re-architected Siri. While Apple has no plans to offer a standalone chatbot app, the technology could lay the groundwork for a deeper push into the category later,\u201d Gurman also reported.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, another new AI feature that\u2019s expected to come with iOS 27 is an AI-powered health coach that will be locked behind a new Health+ subscription. Gurman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2025-03-30\/apple-readies-biggest-push-into-health-yet-with-revamped-app-ai-doctor-service-m8vl97k2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">previously reported<\/a> that this new health-focused agent will use data collected from Apple devices to offer tailored health recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s just been two months since Apple released iOS 26, which also marked the switch to a year-based&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169492,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[61,60,202,80],"class_list":["post-169491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-mobile","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169491"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169491\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
