Apple is set to launch iOS 27 next month on June 8 at the start of WWDC. Here are seven new iPhone features anticipated to arrive with iOS 27.
## 1: Enhanced Siri with independent app, chatbot functionalities, and more
Siri is expected to be a significant highlight of iOS 27, undergoing a comprehensive AI revamp for Apple’s assistant. The refreshed Siri is rumored to include numerous enhancements, such as:
– Independent Siri application for iPhone
– Chatbot-like interface similar to ChatGPT and Gemini
– Global knowledge built on LLM foundation
– New design associated with Dynamic Island
– Execute multiple tasks with a single inquiry
– Integrations with additional third-party AI agents
– Personal context, on-screen awareness, and app intents features that were previously postponed
– Systemwide ‘Ask Siri’ buttons
If Apple can fulfill all the rumors, the new Siri will represent a substantial enhancement, signifying a new era in the company’s AI narrative.
Apple’s Photos application is said to be receiving three new AI-driven editing features in iOS 27: Extend, Enhance, and Reframe.
– **Extend**: Allows users to produce extra image content beyond the original frame.
– **Enhance**: Utilizes AI to automatically boost color, lighting, and overall image quality.
– **Reframe**: Primarily aimed at spatial photos, enabling users to alter perspective post-capture.
It’s likely that the current Clean Up feature will also see improvements due to Apple’s fresh collaboration with Google for Gemini technology.
## 3: Camera app introduces visual intelligence enhancements
Apple rolled out visual intelligence in iOS 18, connected to the camera control of the iPhone 16. However, visual intelligence is reportedly expanding with new functionalities in iOS 27, integrated into the Camera app. Within the Camera app, there will be a new ‘Siri’ mode that will complement existing options like ‘Photo’ and ‘Video.’ Activating Siri mode will present all current visual intelligence features, along with new ones.
According to Mark Gurman at Bloomberg:
> In addition to its incorporation into the camera, Apple is enhancing the feature with more in-house functionalities. This includes the ability to scan nutrition labels on food packaging to log dietary information. Users will also be able to capture and add contact details directly from what the camera observes.
## 4: Apple Wallet will introduce ‘Create a Pass’
Apple’s Wallet app continues to improve, with numerous new and forthcoming enhancements. In iOS 27, a feature is arriving that should increase its utility further. A new ‘Create a Pass’ functionality will allow users to keep even more essential tickets and passes in Apple Wallet. Users can generate a pass from scratch or use the iPhone’s camera to scan a QR code and convert it into a digital ticket. The feature includes customization options for styles, images, colors, and text fields.
Apple is experimenting with three template variations: standard, membership, and event.
## 5: Updates coming to Apple Health
Apple Health has several enhancements set to debut in iOS 27, including new features that were once linked to a proposed subscription service. Reports suggest Apple had been developing an ‘Apple Health+’ service but opted to launch its new features for free within the Health app instead. Expected new Health features in iOS 27 include:
– Educational videos produced by medical professionals and health experts
– AI-driven coaching and wellness recommendations
– Enhanced nutritional tracking
Tim Cook has long envisioned health as Apple’s greatest contribution to society, and iOS 27 could further this ambition.
## 6: Expanded Autocorrect for iOS 27 keyboard
Autocorrect may gain a significant new feature in iOS 27: alternative word suggestions. Apple is reportedly working on an autocorrect modification that could resemble tools like Grammarly. Beyond merely correcting misspelled words, the revised keyboard can present alternative word suggestions.
## 7: Safari to automatically name Tab Groups
For those utilizing Safari’s Tab Groups feature, iOS 27 may be capable of auto-naming your various Tab Groups through Apple Intelligence. Similar to how Apple currently employs AI to generate custom podcast chapters in Apple Podcasts, iOS 27 will reportedly have the ability to automatically name your Tab Groups based on their contents. This is expected to be an optional feature, but it could serve as a handy addition for organizing your Tab Groups.
