Reports Point to Customizable iPhone Camera and Siri Overhaul in iOS 27

Apple is expected to show the changes at WWDC on June 8.

Overview

  • Bloomberg-sourced reports on Tuesday said iOS 27 will make the iPhone Camera app fully customizable with modular controls called widgets.
  • The app would keep the current default view but add an opt-in advanced layout with per-mode widgets, new grid and level tools, and a control toggle moved next to the shutter.
  • A new Siri mode inside the Camera app would give quick access to Visual Intelligence for tasks like identifying objects or translating text in the viewfinder.
  • Siri is reportedly getting a broad redesign into a conversational agent that lives in the Dynamic Island with a dedicated app that logs recent chats.
  • System apps are also slated for tweaks, including a four-tab Safari start page, a Weather Conditions panel, a refreshed Image Playground, and interface refinements that Apple plans to preview at WWDC.
