Overview
- Apple will release iOS 27 to the general public on Monday, September 14, with the update expected to appear around 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
- Siri AI, rebuilt as a conversational assistant and delivered through a dedicated Siri app that syncs conversation history via iCloud, will begin a beta rollout in English at launch with more languages to follow.
- Two features that were in the betas—one‑tap suggestions in Messages and automatic password changes—have been removed from the initial iOS 27 build and Apple says they will arrive in a future update, likely iOS 27.1.
- Apple plans to ship iOS 27.1 by October 23 so the iPhone Duo can ship with it preinstalled, creating a tight timeline for reintroducing the pulled features.
- The RC build is already with beta testers and users should prepare by backing up, updating to iOS 26.6 for preindexing, freeing storage, and updating apps because new indexing and AI features may increase post‑update processing and battery use.
