I’ve excellent news: A very large patch for iOS 26 is reportedly coming, and it’s iOS 27.

iOS 26 was truly fairly properly acquired, and I wouldn’t need to make it sound like Apple is scrambling to repair it, but it surely was a giant, bold replace. Bloomberg’s Apple scoop-getter, Mark Gurman, claims the following cell working system shall be, fairly moderately, much less bold. Gurman says will probably be to iOS 26 what 2009’s Snow Leopard MacOS replace was to 2007’s Leopard—much less a reinvention than an try to good what its predecessor was making an attempt to do.

First of all, as soon as once more to all of the Liquid Glass haters: Apple has indicated that there shall be no takebacks right here. You’re caught with this vibe throughout all of your Apple gadgets for the following few years. There have already been some tweaks, and Gurman hints that iOS 27 will “include adjustments to the new styling.” 

Intuitively, the obvious space of focus when making an attempt to mop up issues with this hardware-intensive replace could be the slight however pervasive jank distributed throughout the entire OS—interconnected problems with sluggishness, weirdness, battery drain, and overheating.

Indeed, the unfailingly well mannered Gurman says that whereas he personally by no means skilled any of those downsides, Apple engineers are “combing through Apple’s operating systems, hunting for bloat to cut, bugs to eliminate, and any opportunity to meaningfully boost performance and overall quality.”

He additionally notes that “user interface glitches,” “keyboard failures,” and “cellular connectivity snags” have been reported by customers.

But it gained’t all be minor tweaks, and there’ll reportedly be a couple of main updates that “center on AI, an area where the company is still playing catch-up.” 

Given that AI notification summaries particularly nonetheless appear to be an answer in the hunt for an issue, that is an space the place a small repair may make an enormous distinction. The function rolled out in a disastrous, hallucination-laden type, breaking non-existent information tales that undermined trust in at least one news outlet that did nothing mistaken. The function was pulled, after which returned in a less exciting form. By being stingy with specificity in iOS 26, notification summaries keep away from disaster, but additionally usefulness. With iOS 27, Apple has an opportunity to lastly nail it on the third strive. 

iOS 26.4 is when customers will reportedly get the long-awaited, secretly Google-powered, Siri replace—the one which may lastly make Apple’s voice assistant do one thing fascinating for the primary time in over a decade. But that large AI function added to the present OS may very well be adopted by associated iOS 27 options like a paid “health focused AI agent,” AI-powered internet search options, and apparently an Apple chatbot app that Gurman says is at the moment generally known as “Veritas,” and used as a “proving ground for the re-architected Siri.” 

All this Siri speak looks like a time shift again to the 20-teens, so forgive me if I sum up what the replace from iOS 26 to iOS 27 will in all probability imply with a paraphrase from that period: If you want your iOS, you may maintain it.
