Apple has commenced its annual WWDC Developers Conference at its futuristic headquarters in Cupertino. The event serves as a platform for the tech giant to unveil its upcoming software upgrades. iOS 27 is set to debut in Autumn, replacing iOS 26 as Apple’s latest operating system.
The new iOS version will introduce enhancements such as customizable Liquid Glass appearance, improved file-finding capabilities, and a more intelligent Siri capable of composing emails, scheduling events, and assisting in ticket bookings for events.
Apple assures that older iPhone models will experience increased responsiveness with the inclusion of a feature known as CPU Scheduler. Overall performance improvements are expected across all devices, with iPhone and iPad apps launching up to 30% faster, photos loading up to 70% faster post-capture, and AirDrop transfers being up to 80% faster.
For parents managing children’s device usage, Apple is rolling out a suite of user-friendly features to control content access, communication permissions, and screen time limits. Notable additions like “Ask to Browse,” “Time Allowances,” and the new Screen Time feature aim to ease parental concerns.
Apple’s Vice President of Health and Fitness, Sumbul Desai, M.D., emphasized the company’s commitment to empowering users through technology while prioritizing safety. The updates aim to help families establish age-appropriate protections and healthy digital habits.
While the complete list of changes is yet to be disclosed, Apple has confirmed that all iPhones currently running iOS 26 will be eligible for the iOS 27 update. The compatible devices include a range of iPhone models from iPhone 11 to the latest iPhone 17e, along with the second and third-generation iPhone SE.
