Apple iOS 27 System Preview: Provides a left sidebar for the iPhone Fold; the release date for Apple’s smart Siri is still unclear

Tech Home March 14 News, according to technology media MacRumors reported yesterday, Apple will release the iOS 27 system at WWDC26 in three months. Due to the全面重做 of Siri, it may be delayed until September. The system will mainly bring support for Apple智能, iPhone Fold phones, and multiple updates.

According to reports, Apple plans to launch its first foldable screen phone, iPhone Fold, in September this year. It adopts a book-style fold design, with a 7.8-inch inner screen and a 5.5-inch outer screen. The larger foldable screen means iOS needs significant interface adjustments, so iOS27 will focus on creating a brand-new interaction experience suitable for large-screen devices.

When opening the new device, the inner screen can provide an interface layout similar to an iPad, support multi-application split-screen, and the built-in App will include a left sidebar design. Apple will also provide SDKs for developers to adapt to the new interface. However, this device will still run iOS and will not support iPad applications.

The originally planned iOS26.4 version of Apple智能 Siri is still in development, and some new features may be delayed until the release of iOS27. Additionally, Apple is developing Siri similar to ChatGPT and Gemini, but based on current progress, the company may release a full version of the new Siri all at once, or first launch the Apple智能 Siri and then gradually add AI chatbot functions.

It is reported that the Apple智能 Siri can understand and record personal information from emails, messages, photos, and more. It can also recognize screen content and perform operations, such as moving files between applications, editing photos and sending them, and sending draft emails. It also supports AI-generated images based on 图乐园, and can support an “AI Summary” feature, retrieving information from the web, summarizing content, and answering questions like GPT.

In addition, iOS27 may update Siri’s visual style. Rumors suggest that Apple is developing desktop robot devices, and Siri will become more animated, similar to the Mac Finder icon style.

The new system may also introduce an AI version of the Calendar app, capable of automatically analyzing schedules and providing smart reminders.

Apple usually releases a preview version of iOS immediately after WWDC26, followed by the official release in September. So, we only need to wait three months to see what iOS27 will look like.
