Apple announced iOS 27 at WWDC 2026. The update focuses on performance improvements and design refinements rather than expanding device support.
Performance improvements and design refinements
iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that run iOS 26, including the iPhone 11. The list of supported devices remains unchanged from the previous version.
Key improvements include faster app launch times and overall performance enhancements. Apple says the update tweaks and improves last year's iOS 26.
New features include Liquid Glass design and enhanced Maps
New features include Liquid Glass design tweaks, enhanced Apple Maps Flyover, new Health features, parental controls, and smarter search. Developer betas are available later today.
iOS 27 will be available worldwide in Fall 2026. The public release is expected later this year.
The update builds on iOS 26, which introduced a major redesign. Apple continues to support older devices like the iPhone 11 with this release.
