Apple introduced iOS 27 during the Worldwide Developers Conference. The update brings new features focused on artificial intelligence and usability improvements. The operating system should reach the public in the autumn of the northern hemisphere.
The highlight is Apple Intelligence. The new version of Siri gets its own app and becomes more capable in everyday life. She searches different apps for information during calls, such as flight confirmation codes. AI editing tools allow you to make photo adjustments. The integrated camera helps with visual searches.
New assistant gains more context
Expanded Siri recognizes on-screen elements and provides more accurate responses. During calls, the Call Context feature pulls relevant data from other applications. Users gain options to edit images with artificial intelligence. The visual search for the camera integrates directly with the assistant.
These functions rely on local processing in many cases. Apple prioritizes privacy in new features. Developers have already accessed the first beta. The public is expected to test the beta version in July.
Devices compatible with the update
iPhone models from 11 onwards receive iOS 27. The second generation iPhone SE and later are also on the list. For iPads, compatibility includes iPad Pro with M4 chip or later, plus specific generations of Air, mini, and standard. Some older iPads running iOS 26 are left out.
- iPhone 11 and later
- iPhone SE (2nd generation and later)
- iPad Pro (M4 and later, plus select 11-inch and 12.9-inch models)
- iPad Air (M2, M3, M4, and eligible previous generations)
- iPad (A16 and 9th generation onwards)
- iPad mini (A17 Pro and 6th generation onwards)
Apple Watch SE 3, Series 10, 11, Ultra 2 and 3 complete support. Older iPad and Apple Watch models do not receive the update.
Child safety features are reinforced
The update includes controls to limit access to applications. Parents approve new sites by message before opening. The system blocks nudity in apps like Messages and FaceTime. It also intervenes in scenes of violence or blood in shared images and videos.
These protections act automatically. Apple reinforces its focus on families. Liquid Glass receives transparency adjustment for better readability. Apps open faster and AirDrop speeds up transfers.
Launch follows traditional calendar
Apple has not set an exact date for the final version. The default indicates availability in September. Developers test now. Regular users access the public beta in July. The update follows iOS 26 and maintains alignment with the current year.
Experts monitor the performance of the new Siri. Integration with Apple Intelligence marks an evolution in personal assistance. Users check the device model in Settings > General > About.
Interface and performance improvements
The slider adjusts transparency in visual elements. This helps those who prefer clearer interfaces. Application launch speeds up. Wireless transfers become more efficient.
The emphasis on security and usability appears at several points. Children gain extra barriers against inappropriate content. The system identifies risks before visualization.
What changes for those who update
Owners of iPhone 11 onwards prepare the device. The official list confirms specific deletions on old iPads. Anyone who participates in the developer program installs the beta immediately. The rest are waiting for stable versions.
Apple continues the annual update cycle. iOS 27 reinforces artificial intelligence without abandoning stability. Users evaluate compatibility before installing.
