Beyond Siri: Here are the practical AI features coming to your iPhone in iOS 27

Apple integrated new AI features across iOS 27, extending beyond the revamped Siri, with several practical applications rolling out to the iPhone. One significant update allows users to "tap to replace" text in photos, enabling the AI to intelligently fill in the background after an object is removed, a feature demonstrated on March 15, 2024. Another AI-powered enhancement is the "smart summary" function for web pages and documents, which condenses lengthy content into key bullet points, aiming to improve user efficiency. The system-wide "image playground" feature provides users with tools to generate custom images based on text prompts, offering three distinct styles: animation, illustration, and sketch. Furthermore, Apple is introducing "voice memos" transcription, converting spoken audio into editable text with a reported 99% accuracy rate. These features are designed to leverage on-device processing for privacy and speed, with Apple emphasizing that personal data remains on the user's device.
