Apple unveiled a sweeping expansion of Apple Intelligence at WWDC 2026, with iOS 27 bringing dozens of new AI-powered capabilities across virtually every native app and system function on the iPhone. Here is the complete breakdown of everything announced.

Siri AI and assistant upgrades

Siri AI is now available in CarPlay and through AirPods, bringing the rebuilt conversational Siri to the car and to wireless audio for the first time. App Actions allow Siri to take actions within third-party apps on the user’s behalf. Call Context gives Siri awareness of recent calls to provide relevant information and follow-up suggestions. More powerful voice assistance extends Siri’s capabilities across the system, and On-screen awareness means Siri can understand and act on whatever is currently visible on the display.

Writing and communication

Smart Reply in your writing style generates suggested responses that match how you personally write rather than a generic tone. Personalized writing in Mail and personalized writing in Messages both adapt to individual communication styles. Suggestions in Messages and suggestions in Mail surface AI-recommended responses and actions. Automatic proofreading systemwide catches errors across any text input on the device. Personalized writing prompts in Journal help users reflect and write more meaningfully.

Images and visuals

More powerful image generation and editing expands what Apple Intelligence can create and modify. Modify images with natural language or touch brings conversational editing to photos. More ways to create images with Image Wand gives users new generative creation tools. Rich image details in VoiceOver improves accessibility by describing image content more comprehensively. Image suggestions inspired by your photos surfaces relevant images from the personal library contextually. Image Playground wallpapers and contact posters brings AI-generated visuals to personalisation. More actions in Visual Intelligence expands what the camera-based AI can identify and act upon.

System and productivity

More automations in Shortcuts and save data in Shortcuts expand what the automation platform can do with AI assistance. Use Model with broad world knowledge in Shortcuts brings foundation model reasoning into custom automations. Intelligent file and folder name suggestions makes Finder and Files smarter about organisation. Describe an extension in Safari allows users to find and install browser extensions using plain language. Describe an event in Calendar creates calendar entries from natural language descriptions.

Accessibility and input

Higher accuracy for systemwide dictation improves voice-to-text across every app. Edit handwritten notes with Siri brings AI editing to Apple Pencil notes. New insights in Workout Buddy adds AI-powered coaching and analysis to fitness. Workout Buddy in Spanish expands the feature to Spanish-speaking users. Ask Magnifier about surroundings gives the accessibility tool the ability to describe environments in detail. Create and modify Genmoji in new ways adds more flexibility to the AI-generated emoji feature.

The breadth of the iOS 27 Apple Intelligence rollout represents Apple’s most comprehensive AI integration to date, touching nearly every corner of the operating system rather than confining intelligence to a single app or interface layer.
