Apple is set to reveal iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 on June 8, and the conversation is already moving beyond the flashy Liquid Glass design introduced in iOS 26 toward meaningful upgrades in functionality and intelligence, according to early betas and rumors. But that’s just the beginning. With the right enhancements, iOS could elevate the iPhone from a highly capable personal assistant to a full-fledged mobile workstation. Here’s what I’m most eager to see in iOS 27.
1. Siri That Thinks Ahead
To truly evolve, Siri must transition from a simplistic voice-activated remote control to an anticipatory assistant. Siri has historically been reactive, waiting for a “Hey Siri” command. This means Siri needs a manual trigger for just about everything, and every conversation is essentially a one-and-done interaction. An anticipatory assistant uses your habits, location, and schedule to provide help proactively, or when you need it. Give me a Siri that can see what’s on my screen and perform multi-step tasks, like finding a specific photo in my album, editing it, and sending it to my parents in a message, all in one go.
