Apple will unveil iOS 27 on Monday during WWDC’s kickoff. Here are seven new iPhone features rumored to be coming in iOS 27.

#1: New Siri with standalone app, chatbot features, more

Siri is expected to be a major focus of iOS 27, with a total AI overhaul coming for Apple’s assistant.

The upgraded Siri is rumored to offer many new upgrades, including:

standalone Siri app for iPhone
chatbot-style interface like ChatGPT and Gemini
world knowledge with LLM foundation
new design tied to Dynamic Island
perform multiple actions with a single request
integrations with more third-party AI agents
personal context, onscreen awareness, and app intents features that were previously delayed
systemwide ‘Ask Siri’ buttons

If Apple can deliver everything that’s been rumored, the new Siri will be a huge improvement that marks a new chapter in the company’s AI story.

Apple’s Photos app is reportedly gaining three new AI-powered editing tools in iOS 27: Extend, Enhance, and Reframe.

Extend: “lets users generate additional image content beyond the original frame”
Enhance: “uses AI to automatically improve color, lighting and overall image quality”
Reframe: “designed primarily for spatial photos…allows users to shift perspective after the shot is taken”

The current Clean Up feature will get improved too thanks to Apple’s new partnership with Google for Gemini technology.

#3: Camera app adds visual intelligence features

Apple launched visual intelligence in iOS 18, tied to the iPhone 16’s Camera Control.

But visual intelligence is reportedly expanding with new capabilities in iOS 27, and being baked into the Camera app.

Inside the Camera app, there will be a new ‘Siri’ mode that joins existing options like ‘Photo’ and ‘Video.’ Opening Siri mode will provide all of the existing visual intelligence features, plus some new ones.

Per Mark…
