iOS 27 Top Features

Redesigned Siri

One of the biggest highlights of iOS 27 is the revamped Siri experience.

Apple is introducing a dedicated Siri app that allows users to start conversations and revisit previous interactions. The new Siri is designed to combine Apple’s Foundation Models with Google’s Gemini models.

The assistant also gains personal-context capabilities, allowing it to use information from compatible apps and perform actions across supported applications.

Smarter Visual Intelligence

Apple is expanding Visual Intelligence, giving users more ways to interact with what they see through their iPhone.

The feature can analyse objects and scenes using the Camera app. Users can ask Siri questions about what is in front of them and take actions based on the information provided.

Visual Intelligence can also analyse content displayed on the iPhone’s screen.

More Liquid Glass Personalisation

The Liquid Glass design introduced with iOS 26 is getting additional customisation options in iOS 27.

Users will have more control over the appearance and transparency of interface elements, allowing them to personalise the look of their iPhone.

Several apps, including Photos, Safari, Wallet and Shortcuts, are also getting additional Apple Intelligence-powered features.

Improved Parental Controls

Apple is adding more tools to help parents manage how children use their devices.

The updated controls include features for purchase and browsing requests, contact approvals, time allowances and schedules.

More Changes Across iPhone

iOS 27 also brings several smaller but useful improvements across the operating system.

The Phone app gets a redesigned experience, while Messages and Mail gain contextual suggestions. Safari is also being updated with the ability to organise tabs by topic.

With its combination of AI upgrades, interface changes and new controls, iOS 27 is shaping up to be one of Apple’s more feature-packed iPhone software updates.
