Report: iOS 27 to Revamp the AirPods Settings UI

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the new design will make key AirPods controls easier to find, while Apple still plans no standalone app.

  • Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple is planning a significant overhaul of the AirPods settings interface in the upcoming iOS 27 update. The new design will be "more functional, better organized and more streamlined."
  • As Apple added new features like hearing aid functionality and head gestures, the current settings screen became cluttered and overwhelming, leaving the interface feeling unfinished compared to other devices.
  • Unlike the Apple Watch or Apple Vision Pro, AirPods will remain confined to the Settings app, though Gurman notes that "major feature options are better highlighted" in the updated software.
  • Streamlining the existing panel aims to improve navigation of complex controls, as Apple intends to provide a clean, dedicated experience that makes controlling AirPods feel as polished as the hardware itself.
  • At its WWDC conference on June 8, Apple will officially unveil these new operating systems. While AirPods adjustments are coming, the main focus remains Siri, which will adopt a modern chatbot-like experience using Google Gemini technology.
