iOS 27 has been officially revealed — and if you’re an iPhone owner, that means there’s a very long list of software treats heading your way.
The final version of iOS 27 won’t actually be released until September, but an early developer beta is available to download now and a public beta will likely follow in July.
But what exactly do you have to look forward to? I’ve been using iPhones since the 3GS (yes, I’m that old) and below are the seven biggest iOS 27 features that I’m looking forward to taking for a spin.

Unfortunately for those in the EU (which doesn’t include the UK), Apple has said that Siri AI won’t be available there due to the Digital Markets Act (DMA). But for the rest of us, it looks like iOS 27’s biggest upgrade — and it’s coming to the iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Vision Pro, too.
