Leaked Apple Code Hints at Four iOS 27 AI Features

Code references suggest Apple is steering iOS 27 toward practical, camera-driven AI ahead of WWDC.

Overview

  • Backend code discovered Thursday, April 16, by developer Nicolás Alvarez and reviewed by MacRumors points to four Apple Intelligence additions in iOS 27, though Apple has not confirmed them.
  • Visual Intelligence would scan food nutrition labels to surface details and could feed that data into the Health app for easier food tracking.
  • The same camera-driven tool is expected to read printed phone numbers and addresses and turn them into new entries in Contacts.
  • Apple Wallet would let people turn paper tickets, gym cards, and other passes into digital versions stored on the iPhone, which cuts down on carrying physical cards.
  • Safari may automatically name Tab Groups based on the pages inside each group, signaling a focus on small, system-level helpers that organize everyday tasks.
