Where to start

The most complete page in this section is the full iOS 27 features list, which separates what Apple confirmed at WWDC on 8 June 2026 from what was only rumoured. iOS 27 runs on every iPhone that ran iOS 26, from the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE (2nd generation) to the iPhone 18 Pro, but the Apple Intelligence features need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. The supported devices list shows which features reach which model.

The leak and rumour articles here are kept as a record of what was reported before launch, each checked against what actually shipped. For hands-on help with the AI features, start with the Apple Intelligence guide.
