iOS 27 adds a much broader set of Apple Intelligence features, led by Siri AI and new tools in Photos, Safari, Shortcuts and Health. Some are immediately available, while Siri AI is rolling out in English beta and additional languages are scheduled for October. Feature availability also depends on the iPhone model, language and region.
Apple’s announcements describe more than 20 individual capabilities. The list below separates what Apple says is available now from examples that depend on a supported app, account or region. It does not assume every feature works on every iPhone.
The new Apple Intelligence features in iOS 27
Apple Intelligence requires a compatible device. On iPhone, Apple lists iPhone 16 models and later, plus iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, subject to the applicable software, language and regional requirements. Apple Watch features also depend on pairing with a nearby supported iPhone.

Apple says it is beginning in English beta, so readers should not treat the announcement as proof that every Siri AI capability is available worldwide on day one. Apple’s iOS 27 overview and iOS 27 release notes provide the current supported-device and availability details.
