iOS 27 arrives Monday, Sept 14, and its AI tools cost nothing extra. Here are 9 worth opening first, and #9 tells you what your front-door camera saw.
iOS 27 installs on iPhone 11 and newer, but the AI tools need an iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max or any iPhone 16 or later. Older models get the update without them.
Siri AI ships as an English beta. It handles follow-ups, sees what's on screen, acts inside apps and saves chats in a new Siri app. The EU has to wait.
Write with Siri drafts from scratch, edits what you wrote or gives feedback almost anywhere you type, from an email reply to a note or a web form.
In Photos, Clean Up now removes much larger objects, Extend widens a shot past its edges, and Spatial Reframing fixes the composition after you shoot.
The all-new Image Playground makes images in almost any style, now including photorealistic, plus Lock Screen wallpapers. Daily limits apply; iCloud+ gets more.
Describe a Shortcut turns a plain sentence into an automation in the Shortcuts app, or refines one you already built. No dragging action blocks around.
Describe an event in Calendar builds it from plain language. Type lunch with Sam next Friday at noon and it fills in the entry for you.
Notify Me checks a webpage for updates like price changes or restocks, and Organize by Topic sorts a messy pile of tabs into groups for you.
HomeKit Secure Video clips now come with text descriptions of what happened. It needs an iPhone 15 Pro or newer plus an Apple TV or HomePod as a home hub.
Suggestions in Messages and automatic password fixes were pulled days before launch and are marked for a future update. Everything above ships Monday.
