Apple is slated to unveil iOS 27 in roughly three weeks, and a Bloomberg leak reveals three AI‑driven upgrades. The update promises a more capable grammar assistant, deeper Siri integration for writing, and a way to conjure custom lock‑screen images with artificial intelligence. Those additions aim to tighten the software‑hardware loop that defines the iPhone experience.

Within the new grammar tool, a translucent panel slides up from the bottom, showing original text beside suggested edits. Users can accept changes individually, apply all at once, or dismiss them, with options to pause checking or jump between flagged sections. Siri‑driven “Write With Siri” and a “Help Me Write” button surface when the keyboard is active, making Apple’s Writing Tools more discoverable.

Shortcuts receives a natural‑language front end: the app asks, “What do you want your shortcut to do?” and builds the automation from a plain‑text description. Meanwhile, the wallpaper picker adds an AI‑generated wallpapers option powered by the Image Playground engine, letting users craft bespoke lock‑screen and home‑screen backgrounds without leaving the settings app. These tweaks push AI deeper into everyday iPhone tasks.
