Apple is said to be focusing on improving the quality, and performance in iOS 27. It will also bring some new AI features.
The news comes from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who compares the plans to that of Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Apple had released Mac OS X 10.6 in 2009, even though it did ship with new features, the update largely focused on fixing the bugs, rewriting core features, enhancing the operating system, removing unnecessary system files and older code. This is what the Cupertino company is planning for the next iteration of iOS 27, macOS 27, and iPadOS 27.
As you may know, Apple made some major changes in iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26, with Liquid Glass, and of course, Apple Intelligence. But it didn't go as well as Apple had hoped. Users had reported several issues with the software, from battery drain, to overheating, bugs in the software, app crashes, lags, and more. I also experienced some of these problems, and some of the changes Apple made to apps like Safari felt like a downgrade in the user experience.
Apple introduced a toggle for Liquid Glass in iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1, and macOS 26.01, to reduce the transparency effects because users didn't like it. It is working on improving this further in the latest beta versions i.e. iOS 26.2 and the rest. It seems like Apple wants to take some time off to address these problems to improve the core experience.
Another area where Apple has fumbled is AI, and this is also something the company wants to focus on. It is planning an upgrade for Siri, for which Apple has also partnered with Google to bring Gemini AI technology to its own models. This is reportedly set to arrive with iOS 26.4 early next year. As for iOS 27, Apple has plans to integrate AI in more apps, including an agent for its Health app as part of a Health+ subscription. Apple is also working on an AI-powered web search engine to take on ChatGPT, Perplexity. There's also a chatbot app, which has been dubbed Veritas, for internal use within the company. An AI named after the Latin word for truth is rather ironical.
An update that improves the performance is fine by me. Liquid Glass is a travesty.
