The headline features landing in iOS 27 go well beyond the Siri rebuild. Photos gains two generative editing tools — Reframe adjusts perspective on existing images, Extend expands them outward — sitting alongside an upgraded Cleanup. Performance numbers are aggressive: app launches up to 30% faster, photo loading up to 70% faster, AirDrop transfers up to 80% faster. Safari's AI tab management rounds out the consumer-facing additions. The cross-app context awareness is the part worth watching architecturally. The Phone app can now pull context from Mail and Messages mid-call, which is a meaningful permission boundary Apple is crossing deliberately. iOS 27 drops support for iPhone 11 and the 2020 iPhone SE — iPhone 12 and later only. Developer betas are available now; public beta lands next month.
