2 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Jun 5

Summary

  • Notifications in iOS 27 will slide in from the left edge, while Notification Center will move to a swipe down from the top-left corner.
  • The Dynamic Island swipe will instead open a new “Search or Ask” interface tied to a revamped Siri, marking a broader change to how Apple handles alerts and search.
  • iPhone 15 Pro models and newer may be the only devices to get that interface if it requires Apple Intelligence support.
  • Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 at its WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday, with a developer beta the same day, a public beta in July and a wider release in September.
