Apple appears to be saving some iOS 27 features for its fall hardware events rather than revealing them all at WWDC 2026. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, three unannounced capabilities are already present in developer betas, suggesting they're tied to upcoming product launches rather than software updates alone.

A new watch face will likely debut alongside Apple's smartwatch refresh this fall. The design appears to borrow from the Apple Watch Ultra's Modular Ultra option but with a simplified interface for standard Apple Watch models. Meanwhile, a customizable Camera app is expected to arrive with the rumored iPhone 18 Pro, allowing users to rearrange and select which camera functions appear.

Siri is getting expanded chatbot integration beyond the current ChatGPT option. Apple plans to let users switch between Apple Intelligence and third-party models like Gemini or Claude directly within Siri. The developer beta currently supports only ChatGPT switching, but Gurman indicates more choices are in development.

These hidden features suggest Apple wants to create more compelling reasons to upgrade hardware this fall, using software enhancements as selling points rather than standalone improvements.
