Apple has officially announced iOS 27 at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2026, unveiling a host of new features aimed at enhancing the iPhone experience. The latest software update introduces a refreshed visual design, deeper artificial intelligence integration, and improvements across several core applications.

The developer beta of iOS 27 is already available, while a public beta is expected to roll out in July. The stable version is likely to be released alongside Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 series later this year.

Wide Range of iPhones to Receive the Update

Apple confirmed that iOS 27 will support a broad lineup of devices, including the iPhone 11 series, iPhone 12 series, iPhone 13 series, iPhone 14 series, iPhone 15 series, and newer iPhone 16 and 17 models. The update will also be available for the second- and third-generation iPhone SE.

While older devices will receive the software update, some advanced features will remain exclusive to newer hardware. Apple stated that its most powerful Apple Intelligence capabilities will require newer chipsets and will be available only on select models such as the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air.

Siri Receives Major Artificial Intelligence Upgrade

One of the biggest highlights of iOS 27 is the transformation of Siri into a more capable AI-powered assistant. Rebranded as Siri AI, the assistant is designed to handle natural conversations more effectively, remember context between requests, and understand information displayed on the screen or captured through the camera.

Apple has also integrated Siri interactions into the Dynamic Island interface, making responses more accessible and visually engaging. Users will additionally be able to customize Siri’s voice characteristics for a more personalized experience.

Apple Intelligence Expands Across Apps

Apple Intelligence is being integrated more deeply into the operating system. Safari will gain AI-assisted tab management and a new Notify Me feature designed to keep users updated on important information. The Passwords app will now support automatic credential updates for compatible accounts, improving security and convenience.

Another notable addition is the ability to create shortcuts using plain-language commands, allowing users to automate tasks without requiring technical knowledge.

Developer Beta Available Now

Users interested in trying iOS 27 before its public release can download the developer beta through the Apple Developer Program. Apple recommends creating a complete backup before installation, as beta software may contain bugs and performance issues while testing remains ongoing.
