Apple is reportedly working on several new AI-powered features for iPhones and iPads. The features are expected to arrive with the upcoming iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 updates. The new tools are said to focus on writing assistance, smarter shortcuts and AI-generated wallpapers as the company tries to compete more closely with rivals like Google and Samsung in the AI space.
One of the biggest additions could be a new AI-powered grammar checker. The feature may work similarly to Grammarly’s software, as per Bloomberg. It is expected to automatically spot grammar mistakes, suggest better sentence structures and offer quick corrections while typing. Users could reportedly accept or reject suggestions individually or apply all changes at once.

Apple is also said to be improving its AI writing features. The company may add a new ‘Write With Siri’ toggle at the top of the keyboard. Another major upgrade could arrive for the Shortcuts app. Currently, users have to manually create shortcuts. However, the new version may allow users to simply describe what they want in natural language.

Moreover, Apple is reportedly planning AI-generated wallpapers as well. Users may get the option to create custom lock screen and home screen backgrounds using AI through the Image Playground app.
Note that Apple has not officially confirmed these features yet. The tech giant is likely to introduce the new operating software systems during its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next month. The public rollout is expected later this year in September.
