Apple has three more iOS 27 features coming in the fall — and none were shown at WWDC

Apple is holding back at least three iOS 27 features for a fall reveal, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman — and all three are already showing up in the developer beta. None were mentioned during the WWDC 2026 keynote on June 8. The timing lines up with Apple's usual autumn hardware announcements, which suggests the company is saving them to amplify the iPhone 18 launch.

The watch face

A new Apple Watch dial is expected to debut alongside the next Apple Watch lineup this fall. Engadget reports it draws from the Modular Ultra design — currently exclusive to the Apple Watch Ultra — but adapted for standard Series models. That would bring a denser, more information-rich layout to the watches most people actually own.

The Camera app

Apple is also preparing a Camera app overhaul that lets users choose which controls appear on screen and where. Right now the Camera interface is fixed — you get what Apple gives you. The update would let you surface or hide tools based on how you shoot. Gurman expects this to land alongside the iPhone 18 announcement, meaning it may be positioned as a headline feature of the new hardware rather than a quiet software update.

Siri goes multi-AI

The third feature is the most consequential. Siri's current iOS 27 beta only lets users switch between Siri and ChatGPT. Apple is working on a broader Extensions framework that opens Siri up to other AI providers — MacRumors confirms Claude and Gemini are among those being integrated. This ends OpenAI's exclusive position inside Siri, which has been in place since iOS 18.2 in late 2024. On more than two billion active Apple devices, that's a significant shift in how AI assistants compete for everyday users.

What to make of this

Apple hasn't explained why these features were absent from the WWDC keynote. One plausible read: spacing out announcements keeps the news cycle running through the fall product season, giving each launch moment its own headline. The features are real — they're in the beta — they're just not officially acknowledged yet. Expect formal announcements when Apple takes the stage to introduce iPhone 18, likely in September 2026.
