Hot off its iPhone event, Apple has confirmed that the latest version of its iPhone operating system - iOS 27 - will be available from September 15 (AEST).
Announced in June, iOS 27 includes new features such as next-generation Siri, new AI photo editing tools, improved parental controls, and Liquid Design tweaks. On top of this, iOS 27 is said to bring performance improvements designed to make iPhones feel smoother. Apple says opening apps and discovering AirDrop recipients will be up to 30% faster, AirPlay will connect up to 70% faster, and AirDrop will be up to 80% faster.
All phones that support iOS 26 will be able to upgrade to iOS 27. Some advanced Apple Intelligence features will only be available on the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air, however. Users need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer to use the new Siri.
You can install iOS 27 on the following iPhones:
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 13, Phone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone SE (2022), iPhone 12, Phone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and iPhone SE (2020)
The iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Duo will naturally run iOS 27 out of the box.
