The word on Apple insiders is that the new iPhone update, iOS 27, will not only feature new AI but also the whole thing will be smooth and efficient performance wise.
Apple has been preparing for a while already to launch its next operating system, the one right after iOS 26, which took place a few months ago with the release of the iPhone 17 series. The new iOS 26 provided a whole new look with the "Liquid Glass" design and brought several changes to the interface, but at the same time, the users complained of a number of issues that included overheating, battery draining faster than usual, and internet connection breaking down occasionally.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman mentioned that one step Apple is making is going through the whole thing slowly and next in line would be speeding up the process, thus turning the whole iOS 27 into a faultless and very refined user-friendly experience. Which is akin to the case of the Apple “Snow Leopard” update back in 2009 when the company decided to work on the software’s efficiency through an entire year rather than introducing new features that are not so necessary.
Amongst all the changes, the most significant one would be AI features new to the iOS 27. The gossip indicates a new AI assistant for health purposes and yet another for web search but with enhanced capabilities through AI. Such features may imply that Apple is hastening its march into the field of AI competition, especially as opponents take steps to improve their smart assistants one after another.
There is also a rumor that Apple is making another AI chatbot, unofficially referred to as “Answer Engine,” which is being developed by a team with the name of Answers, Knowledge, and Information. The undertaking seems to offer a combination of ChatGPT-like conversation and Apple’s ecosystem tools that focus on user productivity.
The software upgrade is said to be synced with the release of Apple’s first foldable iPhone in September 2026. So, expect iOS 27 to be further talked about in the coming June during Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference, then a public beta testing phase a month after that.
The organization’s stability emphasis, AI integration, and future hardware backing will all trilateral iOS 27 as a basic update that will get iPhones ready for more high-tech software and functionalities shortly.
