Apple is reportedly planning substantial upgrades to its AI capabilities with the upcoming release of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27. Beyond enhancing its Siri assistant, the company is expected to introduce new AI-powered photo editing tools.

A standalone Siri app and AI-powered in-app search are also rumored. Apple is expected to unveil many of these advancements at its WWDC keynote on June 8.
