Below we summarize the rumors about iOS 27 so far:
**Siri Chatterbox:** iOS 27 is expected to include a full Siri chatterbox with which you can have interactive conversations. This will make Siri more similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. Due to delays, iOS 27 may also include at least some of the personalized Siri features that were announced in 2024.
**New Apple Intelligence Features:** Apple and Google announced that Gemini will help power some new Apple Intelligence, which will likely start rolling out in iOS 27. For example, Apple Intelligence features have been rumored to be coming to Apple's Calendar app.

There was also a rumor about an Apple Health+ subscription service that would include personalized, AI-powered health and fitness recommendations, but Apple has reportedly gone back to the drawing board on that, so only bits and pieces may arrive.
**New Satellite Features:** iOS 27 is expected to support 5G satellite internet connectivity, though this feature may be limited to the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models with Apple's next-generation C2 modem. Additional satellite features have been rumored, including Apple Maps over satellite and the ability to send and receive photos when using Messages over satellite.
