iOS 27 Brings New Siri Mode and iPhone Features
Confirmed
In Short: One of the standout features of iOS 27 is the ability to start with an existing image and describe how you want Apple Intelligence to change it, according to reports from Fox News. This new capability opens up a world of possibilities for photo editing and creative expression.

However, the new foldable iPhone, dubbed the "iPhone Ultra," has sparked significant consumer interest despite its hefty $1,999 starting price tag, according to Fox News. The device is expected to launch without several features that will be present on the iPhone 18 Pro models, including Ultra Wide and Telephoto rear cameras, a SIM card slot, and stereo speakers.
Apple is also reported to have made iOS faster across compatible iPhones, giving users a smoother experience. Additionally, the company has introduced a range of features that give users more control over how their iPhone looks and works, according to MacRumors.
The iPhone 17 Pro, starting at $1,099, and the iPhone 18 Pro models, which are expected to see a price increase of $200 to $300, are among the new models that will benefit from these features. The iPhone Ultra, on the other hand, is expected to face controversy due to its compromises, despite its high price tag.
According to reports from MacRumors, the iPhone Ultra is believed to be too thin to accommodate Apple's TrueDepth camera array, which is required for Face ID authentication. As a result, Apple is expected to revert to a Touch ID side button instead. The iPhone 18 Pro models, in contrast, are moving in the opposite direction, apparently relocating Face ID's flood illuminator beneath the screen to shrink the Dynamic Island.
In an interview with Tom's Guide, analyst Mark Gurman highlighted that all indications suggest that MagSafe is in for the foldable phone, pointing to the fact that Apple managed to fit the magnet array into the iPhone Air. Units shared by Dickson and Yuryev showed no indentations for the internal MagSafe magnets, while the mock iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max units clearly did.

What's still developing
- Siri mode essentially brings the visual intelligence features previously tied to Camera Control directly into the iPhone’s full Camera app.
- You can use Siri mode to capture and take action on anything your iPhone sees.
- 14, bringing a wave of new features along with the long-awaited Siri AI beta.
- Here are the iOS 27 features I think are worth trying first, along with how to find them.
- Rather than run cables across the display to the left side, where the volume buttons are located on every other iPhone, Apple is said to have decided to run them directly upwards to maximize internal space.
