Apple is reportedly working on the next iteration of its operating system (OS) for iPhone, iPad, and other devices, which are set to be announced at Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2026.
Multiple rumours are speculating on the social media platforms that the iOS update, known as iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, are unlikely to have a major redesign similar to last year's Liquid Glass overhaul. However, Apple will reportedly focus on revamping the design introduced with iOS 26, while adding features exclusively for the rumoured iPhone Fold.
In the latest edition of the Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman wrote that instead of a redesign, the Cupertino-based tech giant is expected to make advancements to the interface.
What to expect from iOS 27?
If you're a iPhone or iPad users, then you might see that iOS 27 could introduce significant changes under the hood to support a new device category, a foldable iPhone.
As per Gurman, the company's engineers are working on redesigned layouts that adapt dynamically when the device is unfolded. To begin with, they may display navigation bars along the left side of the screen, taking advantage of the larger internal display when the purported iPhone Fold is opened.
Apple is also expected to introduce split-screen multitasking on the iPhone for the first time with its foldable iPhone, which will allow two apps to run side by side on the larger screen of your iPhone.
It is important to note that Apple has yet not revealed any official details or spilled the tea about the launch of iOS 27 and its advancements.
