Since Apple is full of surprises, nothing is guaranteed, but with the big event less than two weeks away, we’re revealing everything we expect to see.

Siri renewed

Last year, iOS got a major redesign with Liquid glass. But another big change is expected this year: Siri may be in for a change.

Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that Apple was testing a standalone Siri app. A rumored Siri overhaul could mean an “Ask Siri” button and a button Standalone Siri app It could make the voice assistant more prominent on Apple devices. Siri could also be Apple’s own chatbot (which it might be). Powered by Google Gemini). If true, Apple’s well-known voice assistant could be even more powerful with generative AI features across iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and MacOS 27.

Apart from Siri, we could also see an update to the camera Visual intelligence AI-powered features for photo and video modes.

Mac 27

Some of the anticipated features we might see in iOS 27 may also be available for MacOS 27 — like a standalone Siri app and built-in Apple Intelligence features. But since then Mac OS Tahoe It’s the last operating system to support Intel Macs, and we may be getting a glimpse of the changes we can expect now that Apple Silicon microchips will be required for updates.

iPad OS 27

There’s not much we can say about iPadOS 27 at the moment. We’ll have to see what new features come with the rumored iPadOS 27. Last year, Apple announced Features of iPadOS 26including a new menu bar for apps, a redesigned Liquid Glass, and Apple Intelligence features like live translation, text summaries, and Image Playground updates with ChatGPT. If we see Apple Intelligence and Siri updates in iOS 27, we hope they will be available in iPadOS 27.

WatchOS 27

Apple hasn’t shared whether it’s new WatchOS 27 You will focus more on features or aesthetics. The new WatchOS could be a toned-down version of the Watch Ultra face, according to engadget Mark Gurman of Bloomberg. Alternatively, the watch face can be simpler, such as a large watch with three complication options. But we’ll have to wait and see. Although WatchOS 27 may be coming soon, WatchOS 26.5 will feature a new Pride Luminance watch face and matching band for the Pride month in June.

VisionOS 27

We likely won’t see new Vision Pro devices until 2028, according to Gorman. Apple mixed reality headsets – Apple Vision Pro (M2) and (M5) are currently available.

Apple announced the new Accessibility features for its devices, including some exclusive to the Apple Vision Pro, in a May press release. Apple Vision Pro will be able to control compatible wheelchairs using your eyes later this year. On-device speech recognition to create translations will also be available on Apple devices, including the Apple Vision Pro. The headset will allow facial gestures for actions and selecting items with your eyes. And if you use Apple Vision Pro as a car passenger, the headset’s vehicle traffic signals can reduce motion sickness, Apple says.

Other than that, Apple has been tight-lipped about any software updates, so we’ll have to see what else WWDC has in store.

Hints about Apple’s first foldable phone

We’re unlikely to see Apple’s first foldable phone at WWDC, but we may see iOS 27 features that indicate the possibility of one. There are a lot of rumors swirling around about what we can expect, if that’s the case.

Reports suggest that the phone could be called iPhone Ultra, iPhone Flip, or iPhone Fold. Apple’s foldable phone design leaks resemble a wider book style similar to Google’s original Pixel fold. The battery capacity can reach 5500 mAh, which is better than before iPhone 17 Pro Max. Leakers expect a launch in September and a price between $2,000 and $2,500.

While a foldable iPhone has been rumored for a long time 2021We’ll have to see if Apple drops any official hints at this year’s WWDC. If there are any new iOS 27 updates that include some of the Multitasking features Now available on iPad, this could be as strong a clue as any foldable iPhone with a tablet-like display might be on the way.
