Apple is reportedly preparing five new features for iOS 27 that have not yet appeared in the current beta versions [1].
These additions would signify a broader expansion of the iPhone's capabilities beyond the artificial intelligence enhancements Apple has already highlighted. As the company moves toward a full public release, the inclusion of these rumored tools could change how users interact with the device's core interface.
According to 9to5Mac, these five features [1] remain absent from the existing beta builds. The publication said, "Here are five new features rumored for iOS 27 that haven’t yet appeared in the beta."
While much of the current industry focus remains on AI, the update is expected to balance these advancements with traditional utility. In a previous report, 9to5Mac said the update also includes plenty of non-AI features, specifically highlighting three new iPhone features designed for frequent daily use [2].
Apple typically uses the beta period to refine software before a wide release. The rollout of these remaining features is expected to occur during the official launch this fall [1], [2]. This timeline follows the standard annual cycle where developers and early testers identify bugs before the general public receives the update.
Detailed specifications of the five rumored features have not been officially confirmed by Apple. However, the presence of these reports suggests the development team is still iterating on the final feature set for the operating system.

The gap between beta releases and final product launches often allows Apple to introduce 'surprise' features that avoid early scrutiny or technical instability. By balancing AI-driven tools with traditional functional updates, Apple is attempting to maintain the device's appeal for users who prioritize stability and utility over generative technology.
