Apple to enhance smart home and AI features with iOS 27
Apple is set to enhance its smart home and software ecosystem with the upcoming iOS 27 update. The update introduces Siri AI and improved Apple Intelligence features, including advanced image generation and editing tools such as Reframe and Expand. To manage server-side processing demands, Apple will implement daily usage limits for certain AI features, though iCloud+ subscribers are expected to receive increased access.
In the smart home sector, iOS 27 will improve HomeKit functionality by allowing users to group camera notifications and search for events across all compatible devices. However, challenges remain regarding hardware compatibility, as many popular third-party security cameras do not currently support HomeKit Secure Video.
Additionally, the Apple One subscription bundle is expected to see benefits from these software improvements, with beta testing suggesting that subscribers may receive higher allowances for AI usage.
