Apple may introduce a dedicated Siri app with chat history support.
Siri will gain deeper access to system apps like Messages and Notes.
New "Ask Siri" and "Write with Siri" tools are being tested.
With every major iOS update, Apple releases a bunch of new features that enhance the overall usage of the iPhone. The release of iOS 26 saw a major overhaul to the UI/UX, as there were enhancements made with the introduction of the Liquid Glass design. However, this time around with the release of iOS 27, it looks like Apple is going to put a major focus on updating Siri, its voice assistant. Recent reports have suggested that Apple would be introducing a bunch of new Siri-related features with the update. Let’s take a deep dive into all the new features.

iOS 27: New Siri features
First reported by Bloomberg, the report suggests that Apple is going to style Siri in a similar way to ChatGPT. What this essentially means is that the voice assistant would be getting a dedicated Siri app, along with support for chat and the chat’s history function too.
Not only that, but Siri would get more control over the iPhone, as it would be able to access system apps like messages, notes and mail. Of course, all with the user’s consent, and that too so the voice assistant could fulfil voice/chat-based requests. This would also allow Siri to complete basic, yet useful, tasks within apps.
There’s also news about a new “Ask Siri” toggle, which would appear within built-in system apps. From there, users would be able to send selected content into a new Siri conversation. Along with that, there are talks about the addition of a new “Write with Siri” option, too, which would be integrated with the Apple Keyboard. As the name suggests, it will be a writing tool for generating and editing text with the help of AI.
Last but not least, Apple has always tried putting more innovation towards their Dynamic Island with software-based features, and it looks like Siri isn’t getting left behind either. Currently, major apps support the feature, and Siri would be joining the list, as it would also be getting Dynamic Island-based integrations with iOS 27.
iOS 27: Eligible devices
Let’s now take a look at the official devices that would receive the upcoming iOS 27 update. While Apple hasn’t officially announced the list of devices, major leaks suggest that the following devices could get the update:
- iPhone 12 lineup
- iPhone 13 lineup
- iPhone SE 3
- iPhone 14 lineup
- iPhone 15 lineup
- iPhone 16 lineup
- iPhone 16e
- iPhone 17 lineup
- iPhone 17e
One thing to note is that not every Apple device is going to support most of the Apple Intelligence features, due to the RAM restrictions on older models. Support for the features will be added from the iPhone 15 series, including the iPhone 15 and the 15 Plus.
Though that too would be limited, as both models feature 6GB of RAM. Speaking of full Apple Intelligence support, every iPhone, including the 15 Pro and Pro Max, and the models launched after that, would have full support. Majorly because these new AI features require having at least 8GB of RAM.
