iOS 27 Update: Key Features  

While iOS 27 isn't as significant an update as iOS 26, there are still plenty of major new additions and upgrades worth talking about. 

  • Siri AI: The new Siri AI is more conversational, keeps context of previous conversations, has on-screen awareness and can pull relevant information from Mail, Messages, Notes and other apps.
  • Access Siri from Dynamic Island: There is a new gesture to bring up Siri AI by swiping down from the Dynamic Island, allowing users to bring up the Ask Siri bubble from anywhere on the iPhone.
  • Siri in the Camera app: Siri is also replacing Visual Intelligence with its own dedicated section on the iOS Camera app. Users will be able to click photos and get information about them from the AI.
  • AI Photo Editing Tools: The Photos app will see two new image editing options, Extend and Reframe, allowing you to expand or readjust the photo with the help of AI.
  • Create shortcuts with prompts: Apple will also make it easier to create shortcuts with natural language in iOS 27. Using the power of AI, users can type a prompt and get the shortcut for it instead of manually making one themselves.
