Apple has released iPadOS 27 beta 1 to developers with app resizing updates, SwiftUI changes, UIKit improvements, Apple Intelligence features, and known issues.

OS 27 could bring major AI upgrades, smarter Siri, and big iOS performance and stability improvements. Here’s everything we’ve heard so far about the 2026 iOS update.

WWDC 2026 developer tools enter hands-on mode Tuesday as Apple’s new LanguageModel protocol lets iOS apps swap Foundation Models, Google Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude via Swift Package Manager with no session-code changes.

During WWDC, Apple announced the launch of Siri AI, an expansion of the virtual assistant tool that relies more on Apple Intelligence.

The upcoming iOS 27 release will include new options to tweak the speed and enunciation of Siri's voice. It can sound as natural or robotic as you like.

Macworld Apple has just unveiled iOS 27, the next major update for the iPhone, at WWDC 2026. This year, there isn’t much to get excited about in terms of new features, nor is there a new interface following last year’s major update that introduced Liquid Glass.

Apple today announced that iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27 will be available in developer beta starting today, with public betas to follow in July. The software updates will all be released in the "fall" as usual — likely September — but Apple did not provide any specific date at this time.
