Apple's next major software update, iOS 27, will reportedly prioritize performance and stability over flashy new features, adopting a strategy reminiscent of the 2009 Mac OS X Snow Leopard release. According to reports from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, engineers are focused on fixing bugs and improving system responsiveness to create a more reliable user experience after years of feature-heavy updates. Alongside the stability focus, Apple is planning a significant push into artificial intelligence. The iOS 27 update is expected to expand Apple's AI tools into more applications, with development reportedly including a new AI-powered health agent and an AI-driven web search tool. This dual focus on foundational improvements and AI advancement is seen as laying the groundwork for Apple's next generation of hardware, including potential foldable devices.
