Apple's iOS 27, code-named Rave, will clean up iOS internals by removing old code and rewriting features to improve performance and potentially battery life, in a Snow Leopard–like cleanup effort. It may include subtle interface tweaks and stronger AI features like a revamped Siri, with broader plans for new devices such as a touchscreen MacBook Pro and a foldable iPhone later in 2026.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says iOS 27, to be unveiled at WWDC 2026, will be a relatively modest release focused on bug fixes, performance improvements, and design refinements, with a more personalized Siri via a chatbot interface. A first beta of iOS 26.4 is expected the week of February 23, and major updates will be previewed for developers at WWDC ahead of a fall public release.
Apple will upgrade Siri in two stages: iOS 26.4 adds an on‑device LLM with continuous conversations and personalization, while iOS 27 turns Siri into a full system‑level chatbot integrated across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS and powered by Google Gemini; it will handle web search, image generation, file analysis, cross‑app actions, and memory of past interactions, with a WWDC 2026 launch and a September rollout after beta, though UI changes, memory rules, and pricing are still unresolved.
Rumors say iOS 27 will focus on quality and performance while bringing Apple Intelligence features like an AI-powered Calendar and a redesigned Siri with proactive suggestions, plus an AI health coach through Apple Health+. Google Gemini is expected to power some features, with 5G satellite internet (likely limited to iPhone 18 Pro) and satellite-based Maps and Messages among the new capabilities; more details are expected leading up to WWDC 2026.
Apple is expected to release several new products in 2026, including the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Fold, and updates to iOS with Siri 2.0, alongside a potential new release schedule for iPhones, emphasizing AI enhancements and foldable technology.
iOS 27 is rumored to introduce several new features including Apple Health+ with AI-driven health guidance, multitasking optimizations for the upcoming iPhone Fold, a visual redesign for Siri, an AI-powered web search tool, upgrades to the Photos app, a new AirPods pairing system, a revamped Calendar app, and a focus on bug fixes and performance improvements akin to Snow Leopard.
Apple is preparing iOS 27 with three major AI features: a visual redesign of Siri, an AI-powered web search tool, and a health management AI agent integrated into a revamped Health app, signaling significant updates to Apple’s AI strategy.
A new report suggests that iOS 27 will feature significant updates to Apple Intelligence, building on the AI enhancements expected in iOS 26.4, including a major Siri overhaul, with broader AI strategy updates anticipated. These updates are expected to be announced at WWDC in June, signaling a focus on advanced AI features across Apple devices.
The iPhone 18 Fold is rumored to feature a hybrid metal frame of titanium and aluminum, with a design resembling two titanium iPhone Airs side-by-side, and will include a 5.5-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch inner display. It will lack Face ID, instead using Touch ID, and will influence iOS 27 to optimize for foldable devices. Demand for the iPhone 17 remains strong.
Apple is developing iOS 27 to focus on features for its upcoming foldable iPhone, expected in late 2026, which will include a book-style design, improved durability, and a lower price point, while maintaining regular iPhone updates.
Apple is set to develop iOS 27 with a focus on optimizing the software for its upcoming foldable iPhone, which will feature a crease-free display, innovative hinge, and a 7.8-inch inner screen, aiming to address foldable device weaknesses and offering a high-end, expensive device without Face ID, instead using Touch ID.
