iOS 27 Will Add These New Features to Your iPhone

[MacRumors]

While the first beta of iOS 27 is still four months away, there are already plenty of rumors about new features that will be included in the update.

Below, we recap iOS 27 rumors so far:

• Siri Chatbot: iOS 27 will reportedly include a full-out Siri chatbot that you can have back-and-forth conversations with. This would make Siri more like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. Due to delays, iOS 27 might also include at least some personalized Siri features that were announced back in 2024.
• New Apple Intelligence Features: Apple and Google announced that Gemini will help power some new Apple Intelligence features, which will likely begin rolling out on iOS 27. For example, it has been rumored that Apple Intelligence capabilities are coming to Apple's Calendar app. There was also a rumor about an Apple Health+ subscription service that would have included personalized, AI-powered health and fitness recommendations, but Apple has reportedly gone back to the drawing board on that, so only bits and pieces of it might arrive.
• New Satellite Features: iOS 27 will reportedly support 5G satellite internet connectivity, although this functionality might be limited to the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models with Apple's next-generation C2 modem. Additional satellite features have been rumored, including Apple Maps via satellite and the ability to send and receive photos when using Messages via satellite.
• Bug Fixes and Stability Focus: iOS 27 will reportedly be similar to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in the sense that Apple is apparently focused on improving "quality and underlying performance." Apple is expected to focus on bug fixes, improved stability, and Liquid Glass design enhancements.

iOS 27 beta testing is expected to begin during WWDC in June, and the update should be released to all users with a compatible iPhone in September.

There will be more bugs introduced than fixed. That's inevitable based on all the Apple Intelligence changes. If Apple utters the phrase Snow Leopard during WWDC, I will be shocked.

Siri Chatbot and Apple "Intelligence".

Sure.
If you say so.

Bug fixes, visual improvements & polishing the turd that is 26 ... that should be the majority of the focus.

Could care less about anything Siri / Apple Intelligence but would be great if they had Starlink direct connectivity

Agreed. Given what’s listed above, all
I really care about is the final bullet but the first three will undoubtedly hobble stability if past performance is any indicator

Yeah, OK...Isn't there a middle finger emoji somewhere?🙄

Apple’s hyped AI overhual for Siri could be beset by delayed features

Apple was eyeing a major feature overhaul for Siri with the upcoming iOS 26.4 update in March, but it seems performance issues have pushed those plans further into the future.

I just want less Liquid Glass and fewer bugs. That's all. Not complicated.

The problem is that if Apple does not introduce new features, then they will fall further behind Android. Apple needs to hire more staffing, for iOS development, it’s kind of pathetic for $1 trillion company

 

[t0rqx]

When bugfixes was a standard necessity, now it's a feature....

 

[surfzen21]

Apple Maps via satellite would be cool.

I know we can download a route beforehand so we dont need data but it would still be helpful in unplanned situations.

I've been driving on major US highways that have no signal for miles like 91 in the northeast.

 

[Admiral Fart]

Golly, an AI chatbot. It’s 2023 and I’m super excited aboout this! Can’t wait to use it for three weeks and then never again.

 

[DFBwin]

So we know That Apple Intelligence only works with iPhone 15 pro and above. How bout new Siri, any restrictions?

 

[Bones402]

I am not a fan of bugs, and with OS updates from apple, that is a guarantee even on the RCs. Expect the unexpected and then listen to Apple complain that people aren't updating.

Bug Fixes and Stability Focus: iOS 27 will reportedly be similar to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in the sense that Apple is apparently focused on improving "quality and underlying performance." Apple is expected to focus on bug fixes, improved stability, and Liquid Glass design enhancements.

So skip iOS 26. Gotcha!

Insert Ron Burgundy "I don't believe you" gif re Siri.

 

[Hank001]

I'd be happy if they separate new features from the bug fixes and redesign. I would only install the bug fixes update, and ignore any AI or redesign updates.

 

[indefinite]

Would it be in iOS 27.6 or iOS 27.0? It's not clear at this point.

 

[shadyman]

Can Apple finally ditch that Apple Intelligence feature. 😐

 

[AnotherGuy2]

Bug Fixes and Stability Focus

About time!! Apple products super power used to be "it just works". These days, one bug or another gets in my way almost every day.

I have been using macs since 1987, and have never before experienced such crappy quality control as in the last few iterations of macOS and iOS.

 

[tennisproha]

Which bugs will be fixed specifically? Because there are new ones introduced every year

 

[michsu]

Yeah, and I WILL retire someday.. probably faster than Siri become smart..

Less capex and bigger profits are all that matters !

Announcing marketing lead features at the pre canned WWDC keynote are more important than stability.

And it’s important for Apple to get users interested in new features, so devs support them, as their devs have their guts by now.

/sadly the truth.

 

[alexgowers]

ios 27 better fix some of the basic bugs too, AI is of zero interest to me and everyone else, at least fix the desaturated homescreen wallpaper bug please!!!

 

[VSG]

The interest in AI is artificially inflated. Aside from ChatGPT hardly anyone actually uses these chatbot-features or anything else but stuff that is baked into the system, as for example, inside the image processing pipeline.

As for the title of this article, it should better say “iOS 27 will delay these features for your iPhone”. This is click-bait of the n-th degree.
