We’re just days away from Apple’s iOS 27 unveiling on June 8 at WWDC. Here are five rumored new features in iOS 27 that I’m most excited about.

Apple is rumored to have refinements for Liquid Glass coming in iOS 27, and possibly a new systemwide slider. As I’ve written elsewhere though, the change I want most centers around the tab bar in apps like Music and Podcasts.
