Apple announced its next major iOS update, iOS 27, at WWDC 2026 on Monday. Apple is highlighting performance and design improvements, trust and safety upgrades like a Screen Time redesign<\/a>, and major upgrades to Siri and Apple Intelligence<\/a>. The update will be supported all the way back to the iPhone 11.<\/p>\n

A big change is an opacity slider for Liquid Glass. Liquid Glass was a major facelift introduced with iOS 26, bringing glassy design elements and adding new animations across the iPhone\u2019s software. From the jump, Liquid Glass had some legibility issues, but Apple tweaked things<\/a> ahead of releasing the OS publicly in September<\/a>. With iOS 27, thanks to the new slider, you\u2019ll be able to adjust just how glassy things like tab bars will be.<\/p>\n

iOS 27 will also feature the \u201cnext generation of Apple Intelligence,\u201d which has a \u201cbold new architecture\u201d and an \u201call-new Siri.\u201d As part of the new Apple Intelligence features, your devices will have awareness of what\u2019s on your screen.<\/p>\n

The new Siri<\/a> is called \u201cSiri AI,\u201d which Apple says is more conversational. Siri has an updated design, with responses coming in from the Dynamic Island at the top of the screen. There\u2019s a new \u201cvoice experience,\u201d and Apple will let you customize Siri\u2019s pace and expressivity. \u200b\u200bThere\u2019s also a dedicated Siri app, which keeps a history of your conversations, and they\u2019re synced with iCloud. The camera app also has a Siri mode, which can recognize objects, tell you about them, and store those conversations in the Siri app.<\/p>\n

Siri AI will launch initially as a beta later this year, and will be available in English at first. It won\u2019t be available in the EU on iOS and iPadOS, Apple says.<\/p>\n

Apple is also bringing Apple Intelligence-powered improvements to apps like Safari, Passwords, Messages, and more. For example, Safari can use Apple Intelligence to \u201ctame\u201d a whole bunch of tabs and collect related tabs together. Safari can also monitor pages with a new \u201cNotify Me\u201d feature. With Passwords, Apple Intelligence can automatically update \u201celigible accounts\u201d with \u201cjust a tap.\u201d With the phone app, \u201cCall Context\u201d will be able to proactively show information that might be useful while you\u2019re on a phone call, like an airline confirmation number. You\u2019ll also be able to vibe code shortcuts.<\/p>\n

As for photos, Apple is giving the Clean Up tool a \u201cbig upgrade.\u201d You\u2019ll be able to reframe photos using generative AI. It\u2019s also updating Image Playground, its AI image generator.<\/p>\n

This new update will be Apple\u2019s next crack at Apple Intelligence features, which were first announced at WWDC 2024. Apple is well behind companies like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, which have all been steadily building out their AI chatbots. At WWDC 2024, Apple announced a revamped AI-powered Siri, but nearly a year later, in March 2025, the company said it would be delaying the upgraded Siri because it was taking \u201clonger than we thought\u201d<\/a> to deliver the updates. It recently settled a lawsuit over failing to deliver<\/a> many of those abilities. And earlier this year, it announced that it would be picking Google\u2019s Gemini AI for its big Siri upgrade<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple announced its next major iOS update, iOS 27, at WWDC 2026 on Monday.
