Apple iOS 28 will reportedly be “far more significant” than iOS 27
Although Apple won’t unveil iOS 27 for another week, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has already published the first rumor about iOS 28. In his newsletter “Power On” today, he stated that iOS 28 will be “far more significant” than iOS 27.
“Next year’s ‘28’ releases are already shaping up to be far more significant than the ‘27’ updates,” Gurman wrote. iOS 28 is codenamed “Bell,” while macOS 28 is codenamed “Poppy,” he said. It would be the first version available on Apple’s redesigned 20th-anniversary iPhone, which is expected to launch in September of next year.
iOS 27 with updates, iOS 28 with upgrades
iOS 27 will apparently focus on a revamped Siri and additional Apple Intelligence features. The update includes the long-awaited personalized version of Siri with screen recognition and a better understanding of personal context. At WWDC 2024, for example, Apple demonstrated how a user asked Siri about his mother’s flight and restaurant reservation, based on information from the Mail and Messages apps.
A dedicated Siri app allows communication with Siri via text or voice, similar to other chatbot apps like ChatGPT. Additionally, iOS 27 is expected to integrate the “Search or Ask” feature into Dynamic Island.
Furthermore, iOS 27 has been compared to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, as the update will apparently focus particularly on bug fixes and stability improvements. If this is the case, it wouldn’t be too surprising if iOS 28 were even more extensive.
