Leaked: these are the first features for iOS 27 and iOS 28

In 2025, iOS 26 was the biggest update for your iPhone in a long time. But Apple is not sitting still and has now started working on the next update. iOS 27 will be released in 2026 and iOS 28 will follow the following year.

Several rumors have already appeared online that lift the veil and give you more insight into the functions of iOS 27 and iOS 28. Are you curious about which changes are likely to come to your iPhone in 2026? We put together the first rumors of iOS 27 for you!

These features are coming to iOS 27

Several improvements are coming to the ‘Collections’ in the Photos app. It is not yet known what exactly it is, but Apple will probably use AI to create more automatic collections of your photos. A function such as Looking Back will also receive an update that will make it even easier to create your own collection of your photos.

Connecting your AirPods to your iPhone is now very easy. Yet rumors say that Apple is also doing some tinkering here. It is not known what exactly will change and most of the changes are probably under the hood. But it could be that AirPods will be able to connect even faster to your iPhone in the future.

Features for iOS 28

In addition to the functions in iOS 27, Apple will also add new features in iOS 28. Apple wants, among other things, to expand the sleep registration on the Apple Watch with new measurements. In addition, it appears that the Health app is also coming to the Mac, along with macOS 28.

Other improvements

The rumors mention even more features that are not specific to one specific iOS version. These functions will still be included in one of the updates mentioned above.

According to rumors, there will be better support in the Find My app for AirPods, with a function for accurate outdoor searches. These features could become exclusive to the AirPods Pro 3.

In addition, the Health app is also rumored to be getting a makeover. There will be a new division with categories and keeping track of measurements will become a lot easier.
