iOS 27 Will Reportedly Have Two Key Upgrades

[MacRumors]

iOS 27 will reportedly have two major elements: quality improvements and new AI features.

In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that iOS 27 will be similar to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, in the sense that Apple is focused on improving "quality and underlying performance" over adding new features.

Gurman said there is one exception to this rule, though, as he expects there to be new AI features. He said that iOS 27 will extend artificial intelligence to additional Apple apps, and he reiterated that there will be an Apple Health+ subscription service that offers personalized health recommendations and more.

He said this focus on improved quality over new features also applies to macOS 27.

The first betas of iOS 27, macOS 27, and other corresponding updates should be released shortly after Apple's annual developers conference WWDC next June.

I always prayed for things like this, but I never thought we’d ever get a major bug fix update

I’m crying tears of joy

So iOS 27 will be a bug fix update, with no real new features. Sorry but iOS 26 didn’t bring any proper new features just a new ui theme park change, not really design changes just the way it looks. Why can’t a company like apple do exciting change. So for 3 months beta testing they will just make the os smoother then at launch it still will have issues so what’s the point. We want new design changes not just Liquid Glass theme pack. Also we haven’t had major new features for years

I swear it feels like we hear this “improve quality over features” every year from leakers.

It makes sense to focus MacOS 27 on fixes. This will be the first OS to not support Rosetta and Intel processors. There is a lot of code that can now be removed and existing code simplified.

There will never me a bug free update. Even an update with no new features will have beta testing and still have issues so would rather get new features and have bugs anyways iOS 26 with Liquid Glass wasn’t even a design changes, it was just a theme pack really

No Fold next year then? It would require a major overhaul like multi tasking.

Also, not sure what bugs everyone is always going on about and I am constantly on my phone. Maybe it helps that I wipe my phone with every big update without restoring from a backup.

 

[StrongMacc]

This is good. I've been saying for a while (since iOS 26 came out) that they should do an iOS 12-like performance focused update for their next version. Sounds like that's in the cards.

Apple fans when iOS 27 is rumored to be a Snow Leopard update: Thank God! Snow Leopard was the best!

Apple fans when iOS 27 is announced: That’s it? What a boring update! Apple’s really losing it!

 

[The Game 161]

So stability and al which sounds good. Wouldn’t say it needs many new features

People will moan regardless yeah

 

[CasinoOwl]

This is good. They have a lot of fine tuning to do.

 

[pbau]

We still need better Siri, better thermal&battery management and more languages supported (Siri in Polish please!)

 

[Kylo83]

Apart from Liquid Glass what exactly was new and exciting with this years update? Nothing. If anything it made doing certain steps harder. Give us real multitasking or new features. No bug fix update will ever be 100 bug free

He said software will be built for foldable software in the article. So they will have software built for Foldables

 

[The Game 161]

New Siri will be focus aside from stability from sounds

 

[Kylo83]

We want a complete redesign. I’m sorry but Liquid Glass was only a theme pack update. I want a complete new way to use my phone from a total re design. We haven’t had new features for many years and last years update didn’t give us anything new about from Liquid Glass

 

[Homme]

If it is true then it sounds like all OS 26 devices may get OS 27 like all iOS 11 devices got iOS 12.

Which can also include Apple TV HD on this list because it’s so old lol

 

[Kottu]

My 15Pro Max will be obsolete by the time Apple Intelligence is fully implemented.

 

[MistaBungle]

If no new features, thats good for keeping devices for another year. My 13Pro will be a champion for another year.

Basically be al features from sounds

 

[SnowPenguin]

I salute Apple for focusing on bug fixing for the time being

 

[andrewxgx]

hopefuly they intend to fix the UI bug

 

[Bustycat]

Snow Leopard is the first x86 only so Apple has the better chances to make macOS 27 the first Apple silicon-only macOS focus on stability more.

 

[Moka Akashiya]

It makes sense to focus MacOS 27 on fixes. This will be the first OS to not support Rosetta and Intel processors. There is a lot of code that can now be removed and existing code simplified.

Rosetta support will be removed in macOS 28, not 27.
