iOS 27 launches this fall<\/a> as the next major iPhone update, here are three new features that could be among the most-used for many users.<\/p>\n #1: Siri AI<\/p>\n Whatever your opinion of Siri has been in the past, iOS 27\u2019s Siri AI is different.<\/p>\n Siri didn\u2019t just get an AI glow-up with a few upgrades. Apple says<\/a> it \u201ctore [Siri] to the ground\u201d and \u201crebuilt it from the ground up.\u201d<\/p>\n You can now ask Siri about anything, like you might ask Google or ChatGPT, and it provides informed, helpful answers. It can also perform way more actions on your iPhone than before, and works seamlessly and consistently across all your devices. And there\u2019s a dedicated Siri app to hold all your conversations.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been using iOS 27\u2019s new Siri for nearly two months, and it instantly became a daily go-to for me.<\/p>\n #2: Automatic proofreading, including for grammar<\/p>\n The iPhone has long offered a basic spellcheck feature that underlines any words it identifies as misspelled. Now in iOS 27, Apple is expanding proofreading in two ways:<\/p>\n spellcheck is now powered by Apple Intelligence <\/p>\n there\u2019s a new tool for checking grammar<\/p>\n AI being applied to spellcheck means even if a word is technically spelled correctly, you\u2019ll see suggested word replacements if your iPhone thinks the word is being used incorrectly.<\/p>\n Whereas misspellings are typically underlined in red, suggested word replacements and grammar issues are underlined in blue. Compared to common typos, this makes them feel more like optional suggestions rather than in-your-face warning signs.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not a fan, you can always disable proofreading in Settings. But I\u2019d guess that for lots of users, these features will be welcome iOS 27 additions.<\/p>\n #3: Search overhaul in Spotlight, Photos, and Mail<\/p>\n Search is one of the most essential features for most apps, and certainly for the iPhone as a whole. And in iOS 27, Spotlight search has received a major overhaul.<\/p>\n In addition to having Siri fully integrated with Spotlight, the iPhone\u2019s systemwide search has been rebuilt with a more comprehensive index of your content that always stays up to date throughout the day.<\/p>\n This means you should find Spotlight more useful than ever, as it offers better and more relevant results with every search. Apple says that the same new search foundation powering Spotlight has been implemented in the Photos and Mail apps too, upgrading search across those key apps. So far in my testing, I can very much tell the difference<\/a>.<\/p>\n Which iOS 27 features have been your most-used in the beta so far?
