Overview
- Apple will roll out iOS 27 to compatible iPhones on Monday, September 14, with updates expected to appear around 10 a.m. Pacific time.
- The centerpiece is a rebuilt, conversational Siri that lives in a new dedicated Siri app and uses iCloud to sync chat history across a user’s devices.
- Siri AI relies in part on Google’s Gemini for responses and will begin as an English beta at launch with additional languages and features coming later and gated by device capability.
- Two features that appeared in beta—one‑tap suggestions in Messages and automatic password changes—were removed from the initial build and are slated for a future update, likely iOS 27.1.
- Apple has made the iOS 27 release candidate available to beta testers, recommends updating to iOS 26.6 and backing up to iCloud first, and must ship iOS 27.1 by October 23 so new iPhone Duo units can ship with it preinstalled.
