Apple Readies 3 Hidden iOS 27 Features for Fall, Including Siri Chatbot Switching

3 articles · Updated · Engadget · Jun 14

Summary

  • Three unannounced iOS 27 features are still slated for fall, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported, adding a new watch face, a customizable Camera app and broader third-party chatbot support inside Siri.
  • Siri's upgrade would let users switch from Apple Intelligence to outside models such as ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude; the current iOS 27 developer beta only supports switching between Siri and ChatGPT.
  • The watch face is expected to arrive with Apple's fall smartwatch refresh, while the redesigned Camera app is tied to an anticipated iPhone 18 Pro launch and is not yet present in the developer beta.
  • Apple previewed iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 with Apple Intelligence as a centerpiece, suggesting the withheld features are being saved for later hardware launches and a broader AI rollout.
