Apple releases iOS 27 with AI tools across Siri, Safari and Wallet
The update supports iPhone 11 and later and adds a beta Siri AI that can draw on messages, emails and photos.
Apple released iOS 27 on November 3, 2026, adding Apple Intelligence features to Shortcuts, Apple Wallet, Siri and Safari. The update supports iPhone 11 and later, according to an overview of the software published by Engadget.
In Siri, the AI features are offered in beta: owners of supported devices can join a waitlist in Settings. Siri can answer questions using context from messages, emails and photos, and it adds a camera-based mode.
Shortcuts can now be generated from a natural-language description of the automation a user wants. In Apple Wallet, users can build custom passes, including tickets and membership cards with barcodes, with Visual Intelligence pulling the information from an image.
Safari gains tools to monitor web pages for changes described in natural language and alert the user at a chosen interval. The browser can also group open tabs by topic automatically and create custom extensions from a description.
Alongside the AI additions, Apple says iOS 27 improves app launch speed, AirDrop transfer speed and memory management. A system-wide 3-band equalizer in iPhone Settings arrives for AirPods 4 and later, AirPods Pro 2 and later, and AirPods Max 2.
