Apple is also expected to introduce a chatbot-style version of Siri that could function similarly to AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude. The company may redesign Siri's interface and reportedly launch a standalone Siri app for the first time.

Apple is also expected to announce several AI-powered features across its apps and devices. According to reports, the Camera app could gain a dedicated Siri-powered Visual Intelligence section, while the Photos app may receive AI editing tools. Similarly, Apple Wallet is expected to add an option to scan physical passes and create digital versions. Reports also indicate that iOS 27 may focus on performance, stability, and battery improvements alongside new AI features.
