GoKawiiliOS 27’s unveiling is only weeks away, and rumors for new features keep coming. Here are the rumored iOS 27 upgrades coming for two of iPhone’s most popular apps: Camera and Photos.

The Camera app on iPhone is rumored to add a brand new ‘Siri’ mode in iOS 27.
Joining existing modes like Photo, Video, Portrait, and Pano, the Siri mode will pull Apple’s visual intelligence features into the native Camera app.

Enhance: “uses AI to automatically improve color, lighting and overall image quality.”
