It’s easy to predict upcoming changes in iOS 27 apps like Camera

A report outlined some of the changes coming in iOS 27, some new, some revamped, unsurprisingly. Among them are items affected by Apple Intelligence upgrades and a customizable Camera app.

It appears that Apple’s recent hiring of professional photo app Halide co-founder Sebastiaan de With will yield near-immediate results in iOS 27. Tuesday’s latest rumor is a continuation of a series of reveals of otherwise obvious feature updates coming soon.

According to the latest update of BloombergApple’s iOS update will hit Camera, Weather, Safari, Image Playground, and the system tab bar.

Even the keyboard would get a new animation when sliding up.

For those who have followed Apple for years, these rumors of changes are not surprising. Apple refines user interface features and adds elements with each operating system upgrade.

Some details could only be guessed at before. So here’s a list of what’s coming.

• A customizable Camera app with selectable widgets for each camera mode
• A Siri app that lists recent conversations with the user
• A new Siri animation that lives in Dynamic Island
• A swipe down gesture from the top that invokes a new AI-powered “Search or Ask” bar in the Dynamic Island
• A long press on the search bar will allow users to exchange AI models
• Safari gets a new start page with four tabs to access favorites, bookmarks, a reading list and browsing history
• Weather gets a new Conditions panel in the main interface that previously required a separate menu
• Image Playground is being redesigned with a new “describe a change” option and improved templates that produce more realistic results.
• Search will be reinstated with the bottom tab bars in apps, similar to how it appears in the App Store today.

Previous rumors also pointed to various changes to Siri, such as the new standalone app. Apple moving Siri to Dynamic Island also seems obvious since it will be anthropomorphized as a character you interact with rather than an ambient rainbow color.

That said, it appears Apple will still keep Siri and AI hidden until summoned. It’s the opposite approach from Google, which announced an AI slider that waits for you to gesture on anything to bring up an AI feature.

Apple Photos benefits from new features powered by Apple Intelligence, like the ability to extend a background or automatically enhance an image. We also heard about Apple Wallet having a custom pass generator, which was previously leaked via code.

These additional details might have been easy to obtain with some simple guesswork, but they are now confirmed by a reliable source. Of course, Sebastiaan de With would bring a custom camera interface, Siri would get a completely new UI, and Liquid Glass would see some tweaks.

Now let’s wait and see if anyone can tell us something we don’t know. Or rather, maybe it will be a surprise for once.

We won’t have to wait long, as Apple will unveil iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 on June 8. Expect more leaks in the meantime, although they aren’t hard to predict or groundbreaking.
