Summary
iOS 27 beta 1 introduces more than 15 new Home Screen widgets, including a new extra-large size across 11 Apple apps.
The new format expands the largest widget footprint from a 4x4 grid to 4x6—roughly a full Home Screen page—letting apps show substantially more information at once.
Apple's initial extra-large lineup includes Calendar, Music, News, Notes, Photos, Reminders, Shortcuts, Stocks, TV, Weather and Home, with widgets such as Up Next, Watchlist and Forecast.
The larger widgets appear aimed at bigger iPhone displays, adding to signs iOS 27 is being shaped with a rumored iPhone Ultra in mind; more could arrive later in the beta cycle.
