iOS 27 is a mobile operating system planned for release by Apple Inc. in 2026. It is scheduled to be unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2026 and officially rolled out to users in September of the same year.
The iPhone 18 series will come pre-installed with this system. iOS 27 will debut a new Siri chatbot, internally codenamed 'Campos.' This chatbot is built on the Google Gemini 2.5 Pro model and supports intelligent conversations through voice and text input.
In iOS 27, Siri's functionality will be further enhanced, featuring continuous multi-turn conversation capabilities and deep integration into the Health app and the system.
The development focus of this system is described as a 'Snow Leopard-style update,' emphasizing underlying performance optimization and stability improvements, while also providing software adaptation for the rumored foldable iPhone.
