Apple is preparing a major expansion of its AI features for iPhones and iPads with iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, according to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The update is expected to bring AI-powered writing assistance, natural-language app shortcuts, smarter Siri integrations, and even AI-generated wallpapers as Apple tries to catch up with rivals like Google and Samsung in consumer AI features.

The upcoming features are expected to be unveiled at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June ahead of a public release later this year.

For years, the Shortcuts app on the iPhone has remained one of the most frustrating parts of the user experience. On one hand, it's an utterly powerful app to create automations and perform multi-step tasks in a jiffy. However, the process of creating a shortcut has been pretty complicated and almost a test of patience. 

It appears that Apple has finally listened to the feedback of iPhone users and is planning to give a major functional overhaul to the Shortcuts app with the release of iOS 2027. As per  Bloomberg, Apple will finally let users describe the exact shortcut they want, in natural language, and the AI will create it for them.

According to a report from Greek publication TechManiacs, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 could pack a larger 5,000mAh battery - a notable jump from the 4,400mAh cell used in the Galaxy Z Fold 7. If accurate, this would mark one of the most significant hardware upgrades to Samsung’s book-style foldable lineup in years.
