Apple iOS 27 release date: When you can download it
Apple announced iOS 27 at WWDC 2026, and after its Sept. 9 iPhone launch event, the new OS (and Siri AI) is on the launch pad.
Apple is set to release its latest iOS update, iOS 27, on Monday, September 14th. During its Surprise and Shine event, Apple unveiled new products such as the iPhone 18 lineup and new Apple Watches. iOS 27 will introduce Siri AI, enabling users to engage in natural conversations with the voice assistant, which is powered by Google's Gemini.
The update also brings AI-powered photo editing features, allowing users to easily remove unwanted elements or describe edits via voice or text. This feature aims to enhance the user experience of the iPhone 18 Pro Max's new camera capabilities.
To install iOS 27, users should navigate to the Settings app, then General, and tap Software Update. However, only devices that support the new iOS are eligible for the download. Compatible devices include iPhone SE (second generation or later) and a range of iPhone models from the 11 to the 18 Pro Max series, as well as the iPhone Duo. Users who don't own a compatible device won't be able to participate in the iOS 27 update process.
