Although Apple announced more than a year ago that iOS 18 would be the system that would incorporate us Apple Intelligence In a way never seen before, everything ended in failure, with few functions, late and poorly, and with a Siri that barely has any improvements compared to a decade ago.
However, everything indicates that iOS 27 will be different, and with this update, we will notice that we have a much more human iPhone, which understands what we want at all times, and that is, in spring 2026, with iOS 26.4, we will see the first changes, without having to wait for September.
What will iOS 27 be like?
According to Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg journalist and well known for all types of leaks and relevant Apple information, the company would be preparing a big update of its artificial intelligence system for iOS 27. They want to take a much bigger step than with iOS 26, which although it brought more than 20 new Apple Intelligence functions, failed to cause a great impact among users, despite the fact that there are still versions like the aforementioned iOS 26.4, which will bring more.
Gurman points out that the next generation of operating systems (iOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27 and others) will arrive with notable improvements in artificial intelligence. Apple seeks to improve in this field and catch up with the competition, which has advanced faster in the use of AI, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, etc., who actually have a more natural assistant than Siri.
Before that big version, as we said, an intermediate update is expected: iOS 26.4, which would arrive in spring 2025. This would include an improved version of Siri, with three new features already announced and several more that have not yet been revealed. Apple wants Siri to be more natural, more useful in everyday tasks and capable of better understanding the context of what the user says, especially adapted to new products such as the HomePod mini or the Apple TV, and to be able to request a movie without him answering “I didn't understand you.”
One of the biggest topics will be how Apple balances privacy with AI options. Until now, the company has opted for a model that processes most of the data directly on the device, without depending as much on the cloud. However, Gurman suggests that there could be a change of course, as They will need the cloud to improve in many functionswhich may worry those most distrustful of security issues.
In short, Apple seems ready to take artificial intelligence much more seriously with iOS 27. If everything goes as expected, it will be an update that marks a new way of how we interact with iPhones and Siri on a daily basis, however, it is still a project, so it could happen again that they are delayed. Let's hope that's not the case, and this time we do have something on par with Apple.
And you, do you think that AI is important today, or do you prefer to maintain your privacy and security rather than receive these types of updates that you may not use as much as we are led to believe? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
