5 best new features coming to iOS 27 – your iPhone is getting a bag of new tricks

iOS 27 introduces several new features for iPhone later this year. Apple revealed that its most advanced on-device AI model enables more expressive Siri voices and increased systemwide dictation accuracy. However, these specific capabilities require 12GB of unified memory. Consequently, the standard iPhone 17, which only has 8GB, cannot access these features. Support is limited to iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, M4 iPads, M3 Macs, and Apple Vision Pro with M5.
