According to the leaked source, Apple is focusing on improving software quality and platform performance, while strengthening its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
Apple's teams of engineers are reportedly reviewing the entire operating system to "eliminate leftovers, handle errors, and take every opportunity to improve overall performance and quality."
In addition, accelerating AI is considered a big priority. Apple is developing an AI-based web search engine, comprehensively improving Apple Intelligence, and promoting deeper integration of AI into multiple applications.
Apple has mentioned a new, smarter, and more personalized version of Siri as a virtual assistant since 2024, but it has not appeared yet. Experts predict that the upgraded Siri could launch before iOS 27, likely with the iOS 26.4 version in the spring.
If the leak becomes a reality, iOS 27 could mark a turning point in Apple's software development, reducing the burning color to focus on the core experience.
In the context of the increasingly fierce AI race, prioritizing performance, stability and artificial intelligence capabilities is considered a reasonable direction to retain users and strengthen the ecosystem.
