A report has outlined some of the changes coming in iOS 27<\/a>, some new, some rehashed, none surprising. Among them are elements affected by Apple Intelligence upgrades and a customizable Camera app. <\/p>\n

It seems Apple’s recent hire<\/a> of pro camera app Halide co-founder Sebastiaan de With will yield near-immediate results in iOS 27. Tuesday’s latest rumor is a continuation in a series of reveals of otherwise obvious feature updates coming soon. <\/p>\n

According to the latest update<\/a> from Bloomberg, Apple’s iOS<\/a> update will touch Camera, Weather, Safari<\/a>, Image Playground, and the system tab bar. <\/p>\n

Even the keyboard is reportedly getting a new animation when it slides up. <\/p>\n

For those that have been following Apple for years, these rumored changes aren’t surprising. Apple tweaks UI features and adds elements with each OS upgrade. <\/p>\n

There are some details that could only be guessed at before. So, here’s a list of what’s coming. <\/p>\n

A customizable Camera app with selectable widgets for each camera mode
\nA Siri app that lists recent conversations with the user
\nA new Siri animation that lives in the Dynamic Island
\nA swipe-down from the top gesture that summons a new AI-powered “Search or Ask” bar in the Dynamic Island
\nA long-press on the search bar will let users swap AI models
\nSafari gets a new Start Page with four tabs for accessing favorites, bookmarks, a reading list, and browsing history
\nWeather gets a new Conditions panel in the main interface that used to require a separate menu
\nImage Playground is being redesigned with a new “describe a change” option and upgraded models that produce more lifelike results
\nSearch will be reintegrated with the bottom tab bars across apps similar to how it looks in the App Store today <\/p>\n

Previous rumors also indicated various Siri changes, like the new standalone app. Apple moving Siri to the Dynamic Island also seems obvious since it’ll be anthropomorphized as a character you’re interacting with rather than it being an ambient rainbow color. <\/p>\n

That said, it appears that Apple will still be keeping Siri and AI tucked away<\/a> until summoned. That’s the opposite approach of Google, which announced an AI cursor that waits for you to gesture at anything to bring up an AI feature. <\/p>\n

Apple Photos is getting new features<\/a> powered by Apple Intelligence, like the ability to extend a background or automatically enhance an image. We’ve also heard of Apple Wallet getting a custom pass generator<\/a>, which was leaked via code previously<\/a>. <\/p>\n

These extra details might have been easy to arrive at with some simple guesswork, but now they’re confirmed by a reliable source. Of course Sebastiaan de With would bring a custom camera interface, Siri would get a vastly new UI, and Liquid Glass would see some tweaks. <\/p>\n

Now let’s wait and see if someone can tell us something we don’t know. Or actually, maybe it’ll be a surprise for once. <\/p>\n

We don’t have to wait long, as Apple will reveal iOS 27 during WWDC<\/a> 2026 on June 8. Expect more leaks in the meantime, even if they aren’t difficult to predict or groundbreaking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A report has outlined some of the changes coming in iOS 27, some new, some rehashed, none surprising.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":424523,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-424522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=424522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/424523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=424522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=424522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=424522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
