Apple is initiating the global rollout of iOS 27, bringing significant AI enhancements and bug fixes to iPhone users, including those in India. The update, which follows several patches for iOS 26 – notably 26.1.2 addressing issues with the Liquid display feature – is expected to begin reaching Indian users around 10:30 PM IST, according to reports.
Siri Gets a Major AI Upgrade
Much of the focus surrounding iOS 27 is on the introduction of Apple Intelligence and a completely redesigned Siri. The new Siri AI is expected to move beyond basic commands, enabling users to interact with their iPhones in a more natural and comprehensive way. Reports suggest that Siri will be capable of handling complex tasks such as planning trips, booking travel arrangements, and conducting in-depth research.
What Else is New?
Alongside the AI-powered Siri improvements, iOS 27 is also speculated to finalize support for Liquid Glass, bringing a stable experience after initial bug reports. The update is widely seen as a direct response to the features introduced in Android 17, signalling Apple’s commitment to staying competitive in the mobile operating system landscape.
How to Update
iPhone users can manually check for the iOS 27 update by navigating to Settings → General → Software Update. The system will check for available updates and prompt you to download and install iOS 27 if it’s available for your device. Users can also enable Automatic Updates in the settings to receive updates automatically as soon as they become available.
The iOS 27 update is compatible with a wide range of iPhone models, from the iPhone SE (second generation) to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo models.
