Siri is getting a major overhaul in iOS 27, but Apple also has some big updates planned for apps like Camera, Photos, and Wallet. There are multiple new AI features in the works, plus some non-AI upgrades.

Apple is preparing to turn Siri into a full chatbot-style assistant with iOS 27, giving it the ability to read what is on a user’s screen, recall personal details across conversations, and execute tasks that span multiple apps.

Apple iOS 26.5.1 is on its way, it seems, and is likely to land in a matter of days, while iOS 26.6 may hit first beta soon.

OS 27 will be unveiled next week, with the key new feature expected to be a revamped Siri. The assistant is set to become more personalized and gain on-screen awareness, and a dedicated Siri app will provide ChatGPT-like functionality.

What's Apple got in store for the next iOS upgrade?

Apple has released an unusual and highly targeted iOS 26.5.1 update, exclusively for its iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air models. This specific update addresses a critical battery issue where some of these newer phones experienced difficulty recharging when nearly drained.

Apple’s iOS 27 reveal is close: this year’s big iPhone software update will be announced and demonstrated during the WWDC26 keynote on Monday. And the latest report suggests it will include an intriguing and somewhat unexpected new feature.
