Apple's WWDC 2026 was full of updates for the daily iPhone user experience - here's how you can try iOS 27 early for free.

Apple appears to be laying the groundwork for a foldable iPhone in iOS 27, with new references discovered in the operating system's frameworks and a notable emphasis on flexible app layouts at this year's Platforms State of the Union.

For developers who want tobring their own custom models into their app, Core AI is a brand-new framework designed to be the best way to run models on device. Core AI provides an architecture optimized for the unified memory and Neural Engine of Apple silicon, allowing developers to deploy full-scale LLMs locally.

Apple has taken the wraps off of its next-generation operating system updates at its Worldwide Developers Conference today, including iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 Golden Gate. And while the long-awaited Siri AI update is the headliner, Apple also emphasized its efforts to optimize its software, improving its performance and reliability.

To do this, simply go to the Settings app, followed by the General option, and then tap on Software Update.

The next major iOS software will be available on devices as old as the iPhone 11, and it will land on your device this fall.
