Apple Unveils iOS 27 Call Context for Customer Support, Limited to iPhone 15 Pro and Later

Summary

  • At WWDC26, Apple introduced Call Context in iOS 27, a Phone app feature that surfaces details like order, reservation or confirmation numbers during customer-service calls.
  • Apple said the tool works proactively by identifying the business being called and pulling relevant data from apps such as Mail, so users do not have to search mid-conversation.
  • The feature analyzes who the user is calling rather than what is being said, and Apple said all processing runs entirely on device with no data shared externally.
  • Call Context is tied to Apple Intelligence, making it available only on compatible AI-capable iPhones — iPhone 15 Pro models or later — as Apple broadens its long-delayed AI push across iOS 27 and other new operating systems.
