7 New iPhone Features Coming to Your Phone in iOS 27 — From the New Siri AI to Big Liquid Glass Upgrades
Apple says the update will make app launches up to 30% faster and add a Siri AI upgrade, plus new parental controls and photo tools.
Apple previewed iOS 27 at this year's WWDC, introducing Siri AI and significant performance enhancements designed to make software platforms faster, more reliable, and more delightful across its device lineup.
Apple's senior VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi promised the update finally delivers the conversational Siri AI first announced two years ago, leveraging Google Foundation Models to understand personal context across messages, emails, photos, and more.
Performance improvements include apps launching up to 30% faster and AirDrop transfers 80% quicker, while Screen Time receives a facelift with parental controls like 'Ask to Browse' for Safari.
While iOS 27 supports devices back to the iPhone 11 series, advanced AI features restrict to iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and newer models, potentially widening the resale value gap between older and newer handsets.
Developers can access the iOS 27 beta immediately, with a public beta arriving in July before the final release this fall, allowing Apple to refine its AI efforts before wider launch.
