Apple has announced the global release date for the new iOS 27 operating system for iPhone users during its ‘Surprise and Shine’ event. The company stated that the public update for iOS 27 will be available starting September 14. Apple had first unveiled this new iOS version about three months ago at WWDC 2026.

The iOS 27 update will be rolled out as an over-the-air update for all compatible iPhone models. Users will be able to download and install the new software by navigating to Settings > General > Software Update on their iPhones.
Key features of iOS 27

Apple has introduced several major changes in iOS 27, ranging from design updates to AI features. The 'Liquid Glass' design has been further refined. Additionally, a new iPhone Handoff feature has been introduced, allowing users to utilize the same number across different iPhones.

The major highlights of this update are the changes related to Apple Intelligence and Siri. The new Siri will be capable of understanding user input more naturally and maintaining the context of conversations. To achieve this, Google's Gemini AI models have been integrated alongside Apple's own foundation models.

Users will also be able to open Siri like a standalone app and view past chat history.
Parental controls have been enhanced in iOS 27 to help manage children's digital usage. Features include Time Allowances, Schedules, and an 'Ask to Browse' option for new websites.

Furthermore, the Phone app has received a redesign and will display relevant information linked to the Mail app. Suggestions will now be available within Messages and Mail. In Safari, tabs can be grouped by topic, and users can receive notifications when new information appears on a website.

iPhone models eligible for iOS 27
The iOS 27 update will be available for the iPhone 11 and later models, as well as the iPhone SE (2nd generation and later). These include the iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 series.

Additionally, the iPhone 16e, iPhone 17e, and iPhone Air are also compatible with iOS 27. This means the new update will be available for users of older iPhone models as well.
