Apple unveils iOS 27 at WWDC 2026
Apple finally showed us what's up with iOS 27.
At WWDC 2026, Apple officially unveiled iOS 27 after months of rumors.
At the beginning of the opening keynote, Apple outlined three themes for the new updates to its operating systems:
Platform improvements
Trust and safety
A big leap forward for Apple Intelligence
Parental controls seemed to be a major focus at WWDC. Apple is adding enhanced tools for parents to its software suite, including more screen time controls and app permission requests. And, in what might be exciting news for some, Apple confirmed that every iPhone from the iPhone 11 onward will support iOS 27. Previous rumors indicated the iPhone 11 family would be phased out of software support this year.
Apple also showed off a new customization slider for Liquid Glass, letting users slide between Ultra Clear on one end and Tinted Glass on the other. Other nuggets included menopause and perimenopause cycle tracking in the Health app, custom equalizer controls for AirPods, and a huge visual makeover for flyover mode in Apple Maps.
