iOS 27 is poised to be filled with AI enhancements, featuring the revamped Siri app as its centerpiece. A recent Bloomberg report suggests that iOS 27 may also enhance the iPhone’s keyboard with a novel autocorrect capability.
### iPhone’s Keyboard in iOS 27 Might Provide ‘Alternative Word’ Suggestions as Part of Autocorrect Enhancement
In the recent iOS 26.4 update, Apple implemented some modifications to the iPhone’s keyboard, which it asserts enhance accuracy. Now, per the Bloomberg report, even more significant keyboard improvements could be on the horizon with iOS 27.
Mark Gurman reports at Bloomberg:
> Apple has investigated a refreshed system keyboard that broadens autocorrect by suggesting alternative words, according to the sources. It employs a method akin to tools like Grammarly. A final choice on launching the keyboard tool has yet to be determined. The company has refined its keyboard algorithms in recent days, striving for a superior autocorrect experience.
Some aspects of this feature don’t appear too different from the current iOS offerings. Nonetheless, the revamped iOS 27 keyboard is anticipated to be smarter and provide more beneficial suggestions than its former versions.
These insights regarding the keyboard upgrade were included in a larger report discussing new Siri functionalities, such as the capability to process multiple requests within a single query. While not explicitly mentioned, it seems probable that the new autocorrect feature may depend on some type of Apple Intelligence data, potentially restricting it to AI-capable iPhone models.
iOS 27 will be fully revealed on June 8 at WWDC, and with each new report, it seems to be the sort of AI-rich release that many users have been looking forward to.
