Apple is preparing to introduce its next major software upgrade, iOS 27, and early reports suggest the update will shift focus from visual changes to meaningful performance improvements and advanced AI capabilities.
Following the visually redesigned “Liquid Glass” interface launched with iOS 26, the upcoming version aims to enhance speed, stability, and user experience across all supported iPhone models.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, iOS 27 will prioritize “quality improvements and artificial intelligence features.” Apple’s internal development focus reportedly centers on eliminating persistent bugs, optimizing system performance, and strengthening the platform’s overall stability. This indicates that Apple wants to refine core functionality before introducing new UI updates in future versions.
But performance isn’t the only key upgrade. Apple is also planning a significant expansion of AI across its ecosystem with iOS 27. Gurman claims the update will introduce new AI-powered enhancements to more built-in apps. One of the standout additions is a “health-focused” AI agent designed to help users track wellness metrics more intelligently and deliver personalized insights.
Additionally, Apple is said to be working on an AI-backed web search tool that could offer faster, more accurate results directly through iOS. The most ambitious project under development is a full-scale Apple chatbot reportedly named “Veritas.” This AI assistant may eventually integrate with Siri, boosting its conversational abilities and delivering more natural, context-aware responses.
These updates won’t be limited to the iPhone. Apple plans to introduce similar AI-driven improvements and performance refinements in macOS 27, ensuring a more unified experience across devices.
Apple is expected to roll out the first beta versions of both iOS 27 and macOS 27 in June next year, likely following its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). As anticipation grows, users can look forward to a more stable, intelligent, and responsive Apple ecosystem powered by deeper AI integration.
