Apple<\/a>‘s most important software platform is about to get a big upgrade. <\/p>\n

In a couple weeks, Apple will finally launch the iOS 27<\/a>. Yes, we’ve seen and tried out the developer betas and the public betas. Right now, we’re at Developer Beta 7 and Public Beta 5; this late in the game, we don’t expect to see any major new features when iOS 27 launches properly, though surprises are always possible. The keynote event is called “Surprise and shine,” after all. <\/p>\n

For most users, however, the iOS 27 that launches next month is<\/strong> the new version, as most folks don’t bother (and they shouldn’t) installing the public beta. So, here’s everything we’ve learned from testing iOS 27, which includes the Siri AI beta, and a list of the hottest new features to try out when it launches. <\/p>\n

When is iOS 27 arriving?<\/h2>\n

The final version of iOS 27 is likely to arrive mid-September. More precisely, given that Apple is launching new iPhones on Sept. 9<\/a>, we’ll probably get iOS 27 a week later, on Sept. 16 (give or take a day or two). <\/p>\n

If you’re still eager to try out the latest beta (which is bound to be very similar to the final release), here’s how to do that and what you can expect from it<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Who gets to install iOS 27?<\/h2>\n

Apple’s iOS 27 will be available for iPhone 11 and later<\/a>, as well as iPhone SE (2nd generation and later). Also, Apple’s upcoming iPhones, which are reportedly iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and the foldable iPhone Ultra<\/a>, will almost certainly run iOS 27 out of the box. <\/p>\n

How to install iOS 27?<\/h2>\n

If you have a compatible device (see above), the process will consist merely of going to your iPhone’s Settings, General, Software Update, and choosing to install the new OS. The process should take roughly 10 minutes (depending on your internet connection). <\/p>\n

It’s always wise to back up your phone before updating your software, though in this case, we don’t expect any major problems; Apple’s final, major software releases tend to be fairly polished. <\/p>\n

What’s new in iOS 27<\/h2>\n

There are a lot of new features in iOS 27, with the crown jewel among them being improved Siri (which is now called Siri AI), as well as Apple Intelligence, both of which permeate the device’s many features and built-in apps, offering new, simpler ways to achieve everyday tasks. <\/p>\n

Besides that, the Liquid Glass interface has been updated with more customizability, numerous apps, including Safari, Reminders, Notes, Photos, and Health, have gotten new features, and the iPhone, overall, should perform better. <\/p>\n

The new features range from major changes to tiny aesthetic improvements. Apple’s got an overview here<\/a>; below, here’s our choice of the best new features you should try after installing iOS 27. <\/p>\n

A word of caution: Some of the AI features aren’t available in the EU due to Apple’s dispute over AI with European regulators. There’s currently no timeline<\/a><\/em> as to when this could be resolved. With that out of the way, here are the best 7 iOS 27 features you should try after installing it. <\/em><\/p>\n

Siri AI<\/h3>\n

If you’re in the U.S., Siri AI will work for you, and you can access it by either uttering the “Hey Siri” voice command, pressing and holding the iPhone’s side button, or swiping down from the Dynamic Island on top of your screen.<\/p>\n

Once it’s activated, you can use it to search for documents, emails, and photos on your device, ask it questions about a website on your screen (or any sort of general questions), get recommendations for places and activities, and easily create home automations. <\/p>\n

Siri understands you, personally, as it can draw context from your emails and other documents. It also knows a lot about the world, making it similar to LLMs such as OpenAI, so you can ask it questions or give it tasks related to you, personally, or just ask it about any topic you like. <\/p>\n

Visual Intelligence<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, the same caveat goes for this one: It’s not available in the EU at launch.<\/p>\n

It’s a pity, because it’s a cool feature that lets you point your camera at things and get information about them from Siri. This includes splitting a restaurant bill, getting working hours for a business, figuring out which plant or animal you’re looking at, and more.<\/p>\n

You can access Visual Intelligence by clicking and holding the Camera Control button, or (if you have an iPhone that doesn’t have the Camera Control button) either through Control Center or by customizing the Action button or Lock Screen.<\/p>\n

Child Safety<\/h3>\n

Every parent knows what a nightmare the parental control features can be. You think you’ve set up everything right, only to discover that your kid still has unlimited access to YouTube (and is using it without any limits whatsoever).<\/p>\n

In iOS 27, Apple has overhauled the Child Safety features with an easier setup, more granular control over apps and websites, and better screen time management. The Communication Safety feature can even intervene before a child sees gore or violence in videos and images shared over Messages and FaceTime.<\/p>\n

There are detailed options for time allowances across several categories, including Entertainment, Games, and Social Media. Perhaps most importantly, there are now simple controls to either fully pause device use, or allow unlimited use of a device.<\/p>\n

Updates to Messages, Mail, Calendar, Safari<\/h3>\n

Siri’s new smarts extend over a number of Apple’s built-in apps. <\/p>\n

For example, in Messages as well as Mail, Siri can write things for you based on a description, and the result will match your style. Both those apps will also offer suggestions based on your conversations, such as adding events to your Calendar or a reminder to your Reminders app. <\/p>\n
