Overview
- Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter says iOS 27 will focus on cutting bloat, fixing bugs, and boosting performance rather than introducing major new features.
- The quality-first approach is reported to span Apple’s platforms, including macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS.
- Despite the reset, reporting points to select AI additions in iOS 27, notably an AI health agent that may link to a Health+ subscription and an AI-powered web search feature.
- Ahead of that cycle, iOS 26.4 is expected to deliver an upgraded Siri powered by a customized Google Gemini model running in Apple’s private cloud, according to the reports.
- Additional areas cited for iOS 27 include enterprise enhancements, features for emerging markets, and refinements to the Liquid Glass design, with formal reveals expected around WWDC26.
