The 5 major new features of iOS 27 that will transform the iPhone in 2026

10 months in advance, do we already know the biggest features of iOS 27? We cannot say with certainty, but several rumors already speak of itsome new features like iOS 27 guidelines.

After a much-noticed graphical interface change, iOS 27 should focus on performance and optimization. A more discreet, more technical update, but no less interesting for all that. In this article, we have listed 5 features that should be available in June 2026, during the presentation of iOS 27 at WWDC.

Quality and performance above all else

The first big new feature of iOS 27, we told you about it above, is above all… the absence of new features. Or rather the changes should be barely visible on this version of iOS. Apple would especially focus on the quality of its ecosystem and the performance of the iPhone.

AI at the heart of the machine

No products found.

Under iOS 27, even more than before, artificial intelligence should be at the heart of our use. The update promises to be major on this point. Apple specialist Mark Gurman recently spoke of a “major change” with iOS 27 in terms of AI.

Such a term, coming from the person who saw Apple Intelligence coming before all his colleagues, is necessarily encouraging. We will now have to wait until June 2026 to discover in detail the modifications made by Apple to its AI. The delivery of the “new Siri” in the spring should already be a good indicator.

Health +

Somewhat sidelined in recent years, health could once again become a favorite subject on the iPhone. While Apple is increasing the number of sensors (in the Apple Watch and more recently in the AirPods), Apple could reach a new level on the iPhone.

Apple could launch “Health+”, a new (paid) system offering data analysis using AI. Several rumors mention the arrival of personalized advice on nutrition, hydration, sleep and even physical activity.

Siri, helped by Google and Gemini?

While waiting to discover iOS 27 on our iPhones, Apple must still update iOS 26. Next spring, iOS must welcome a new version of Siri, using artificial intelligence. After taking a step towards ChatGPT by integrating the OpenAI service into its Apple Intelligence offering, Apple could this time turn to Google.

By signing a partnership with Gemini, the new Siri would be even more powerful. It would allow Apple to maintain a prominent place in the AI market, while the brain drain is becoming a real hemorrhage on Cupertino’s side.

Prepare iPhone Fold

This is the big news of 2026 at Apple. The Cupertino company should present a “folding” iPhone. This unique, very high-end phone could take the design of the iPhone Air with a 7.8-inch interior screen. For comparison, the iPad mini is 8.3 inches.
