Apple is expected to put artificial intelligence front and centre at its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference, with early reports suggesting that iOS 27 could bring some of the company’s most meaningful AI upgrades yet.
The event, scheduled for June 8–12, is where Apple typically unveils the next version of iOS, and this year, the focus seems to be less about visual changes and more about making the software smarter and more useful in everyday scenarios.
AI features coming to core apps
Beyond Siri, Apple is also expected to expand AI features across its native apps. The Photos app, for instance, could see new tools powered by AI that allow users to enhance images, extend backgrounds, or reframe shots after they’ve been taken. These are features we’ve already seen on some Android devices, but Apple’s approach will likely focus on tight integration and ease of use.
Visual Intelligence and camera upgrades
Another area where AI could play a bigger role is the camera experience. Apple is reportedly working on deeper integration of what it calls “Visual Intelligence.” This could allow the camera to recognise objects, extract useful information, and assist users in real time.
For example, users might be able to scan food packaging to get nutritional details or quickly capture contact information from a business card without needing a separate app.
What to expect at WWDC
While these features are still based on early reports and leaks, they point to a broader shift in Apple’s strategy — moving from flashy design changes to more practical, AI-driven improvements. If these updates make it to the final release, iOS 27 could be less about how your iPhone looks and more about how intelligently it works behind the scenes. Apple is expected to officially unveil iOS 27 at WWDC in June, where we’ll get a clearer picture of how far these AI ambitions really go.

Smarter Siri could be the highlight
One of the biggest expected upgrades is to Siri. Apple’s voice assistant has often lagged behind competitors, but that could start to change with iOS 27. Reports suggest Siri may evolve into a more capable, app-like experience with deeper integration across the system. This could mean better handling of complex tasks, smoother multitasking, and the ability to interact more intelligently with different apps. There’s also talk of improved contextual awareness, which could make Siri feel more responsive and less scripted.AI features coming to core apps
