Five iOS 27 Features Apple Is Expected to Unveil at WWDC on June 8

Apple unveils iOS 27 and macOS 27 at WWDC on June 8 — a keynote that carries real weight given how far ChatGPT and Gemini have moved since Apple Intelligence launched. Pre-WWDC reports point to a major Siri rebuild as the centerpiece, alongside Health app nutrition scanning, design refinements, and one feature Apple has already confirmed: auto-generated subtitles for any video.

Siri is expected to get its deepest overhaul in the assistant’s 15-year history. Reports ahead of WWDC describe a Google Gemini-based AI model underpinning a fully redesigned interface: a standalone Siri app on the home screen, a conversational chatbot mode, Dynamic Island integration that keeps Siri visible mid-task, world knowledge on par with current AI competitors, the ability to complete multiple tasks in a single request, expanded App Intents for third-party apps, and onscreen awareness features that Apple previewed but didn’t fully ship in earlier Apple Intelligence updates. Apple and Google formalized an AI partnership that put Gemini on iPhones as an AI provider option; the iOS 27 Siri rebuild appears to draw on that deal more deeply than Apple Intelligence’s first generation did.

Three other additions are widely rumored for June 8. The Camera and Health apps are expected to gain the ability to scan a nutrition label and automatically import the data — removing the manual entry step that apps like MyFitnessPal require today. Siri is also reportedly getting write access to Apple Notes: rather than just reading from your notes, the assistant would save information directly into specific notes on request, making it genuinely useful for capturing ideas mid-conversation. And Apple is said to be refining the Liquid Glass design language from iOS 26, targeting a common frustration: the auto-hiding tab bar in apps like Music and Podcasts, which buries playback controls as you scroll and requires an extra tap to surface them.

The one confirmed iOS 27 feature before the keynote is generated subtitles. Apple has already announced that iOS 27 will automatically transcribe spoken audio for any video without captions — clips from friends, locally recorded videos, and streamed content included. It’s a meaningful accessibility addition and the one item developers can plan around with certainty ahead of Monday.

Developer builds land June 8 immediately after the keynote. A public beta typically follows in July, with a general release in September alongside new iPhone hardware. Apple will publish the iOS 27 compatibility list at WWDC — that list determines whether any of this reaches your current device.
