Apple has released iOS 27 after months of beta testing, introducing artificial intelligence features alongside smaller improvements and bug fixes. Fast Company described the update as more subdued than some previous releases but highlighted several additions that can help boost productivity.
The update includes a major AI upgrade for Siri, according to Tom’s Guide, with new capabilities including a calendar shortcut, according to Fast Company. BGR reported that the new Siri AI features may require time to activate after users install iOS 27, though no activation timeframe was provided.
Apple also revamped Screen Time controls, according to AP News and The Boston Globe. Notes received additional features as part of the productivity changes highlighted by Fast Company.
A Yahoo Tech review reported frustration with Siri AI on a new Apple Watch. The release arrives as Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro is also drawing attention for its camera capabilities, while reports point to possible new Macs, iPads and AI-focused home devices in October 2026.
