Overview

  • Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple is removing legacy code, rewriting features, and tuning older apps to make iOS 27 feel faster and more responsive.
  • Engineers are targeting efficiency that could translate into longer iPhone battery life, with only modest interface tweaks rather than another visual overhaul.
  • Advanced Siri capabilities previewed in 2024 have been delayed, with key features now planned across iOS 26.5 and iOS 27 instead of a single spring release.
  • Some new generative features are expected to rely on Google’s Gemini models and cloud processing as Apple continues rebuilding parts of its AI infrastructure.
  • iOS 27, internally codenamed Rave, is reportedly tracking for a fall 2026 release, with separate reports noting iOS 26’s slower adoption hindered Tesla-requested Maps/CarPlay fixes.
