Apple has unveiled iOS 27, the next major update for the iPhone, at its Worldwide Developers Conference in California.
The new update is focused on three main strands: performance updates, a suite of new safety features for young people, and a new, AI-powered version of Siri.
Apple typically releases the new update in September, announcing the launch date at its iPhone event and making it available shortly before the release of the new products. If it follows its usual pattern, iOS 27 will arrive around 14 September.
Apple did not confirm that it would keep to that schedule this year, however it said the new software will be released in the “fall”.
Users can get hold of the update now via Settings, as Apple released the developer beta of the software following its event. Those downloading the beta version should be aware of potential bugs, slower performance, and quicker battery drain.
