iOS 26.4 and iOS 27 Features Revealed in New Leak

[MacRumors]

Macworld's Filipe Espósito today revealed a handful of features that Apple is allegedly planning for iOS 26.4, iOS 27, and even iOS 28.

The report said the features are referenced within the code for a leaked internal build of iOS 26 that is not meant to be seen by the public. However, it appears that Espósito and/or his sources managed to gain access to it, providing us with a sneak peek at some of the things that Apple's software engineers are working on.

As always, Apple's plans could change, so there is no guarantee that any or all of these features will end up being released to the general public.

Here is what Apple is planning for iOS 26.4, according to the report:

• A revamped, more personalized version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence.
• A redesigned Health app, with a new layout for categories and simplified metric logging. A previous rumor indicated there will also be an Apple Health+ subscription service with an AI-powered health and fitness assistant.
• If you have credit card information stored in Apple's Passwords app, you will be able to AutoFill those details in third-party apps.
• The ability to create folders in the Freeform app.
• Apple is apparently working on a new "Sports Tier" for the Apple TV app, but the report did not offer any further details about this.
• There are signs of "a new validation system that will check the integrity of the device before logging into Apple ID and iCloud."
• New features for AirPods, including "Precise Outdoor Location" in the Find My app.

These features are allegedly planned for iOS 27:

• Improvements to photo collections in the Photos app.
• Improvements to the AirPods pairing process.

The report even mentioned a potential iOS 28 feature:

• New metrics for Apple Watch sleep tracking.

Apple is also planning to expand the Health app to the Mac with macOS 28, the report said.

Based on information from the same internal build of iOS 26, Espósito also shared alleged details about Apple's long-rumored smart home hub, as well as upcoming models of the Studio Display, entry-level iPad, AirTag, and more.

Apparently, iOS 28 will feature improved Siri. Now for real for real this time. Pwomiss.

 

[grandchester]

Nothing about iOS 29? Whatever man.

 

[mxrider88]

* powered by google.

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

• The ability to create folders in the Freeform app.

Whyyyy did it take this long? Finally.

 

[TwoBytes]

What kind of world is it when I excessively check to see if future rumours will mean they remove liquid glass?

 

[jz0309]

Ok, why would there be a "hint" in ios26 for a possible ios28 feature? That just doesn't make sense to me, but that's just me

 

[TwoBytes]

I hope the password apps allows you to store attachments, credit cards and notes

 

[turbineseaplane]

Can't wait for 28!

 

[Astuces iOS]

From what I see, there is no new emojis and Siri is better but cannot do actions on your iPhone like it was announced in wwdc24

 

[Kylo83]

So nothing excited to look toward to

 

[Kar98]

A revamped, more personalized version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence

Bwhahahahaha, suuuuuuuure!!

 

[Jason2000]

A revamped, more personalized version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence

Bwhahahahaha, suuuuuuuure!!

A revamped, more personalized version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence powered by Gemini. There fixed it...lol.

 

[Reeneman]

LOL thought about an interesting article but these „news/leaks“ are basic af 😅

 

[Digital Dude]

If Apple had any sense, they would retire the Siri name altogether. 👵🏼

 

[falkon-engine]

This list is almost as exciting as watching paint dry.

 

[froot1988]

"Apple is also planning to expand the Health app to the Mac with macOS 28, the report said."

Is that a sick joke? How does this take so long???

 

[MAlbi]

I wont believe untill Gurmann sais that its disaster.

 

[xnsys]

Wow.....the innovation is off the charts.

 

[ifxf]

Looks like the sweet spot for upgrading to 26 might be 26.3, since .4 might be a step backwards in quality.

 

[mdriftmeyer]

15.7.3 was 4.24 GB.

 

[HouseLannister]

Tell me when you see leaks for custom launchers, an actual icon picker, or theme support. Liquid Glass has been so polarizing and Apple continues to not give people choices.

 

[ProbablyDylan]

Idk why people are saying this stuff isn't innovative. The sleep tracking improvements are mission critical seeing as Apple's leadership is asleep at the wheel.

 

[lapstags]

The sports tier sounds interesting I wonder if they expand beyond f1 into other sports. And I wonder if they lower the price of the general appletv below 12.99

 

[Lizzard899]

A new way to validate your icloud??? YEA how about NO. Apple is just trying to force us to use 2fa.
