GoKawiiliOS 27 will be unveiled in mere days, and rumors indicate the update will bring new design changes in big and small ways to a variety of iPhone apps. Here’s what’s coming.
Major design changes: Camera and Image Playground
Based on Mark Gurman’s reporting, two iPhone apps will get the biggest design updates in iOS 27: Camera and Image Playground.
Apple redesigned the Camera app in iOS 26, but Gurman says even more changes are coming in iOS 27. He writes:
Apple Inc. is planning to upgrade its Camera app, making the software fully customizable as part of a broader set of user interface changes coming in its next iPhone software update. With the new approach, users will be able to choose which features appear in the Camera app — and where they’re placed.
In addition to being “fully customizable,” Camera will add a brand new Siri mode for visual intelligence features.
Image Playground is another app getting major design changes. Gurman says it “has been completely redesigned across iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27.”
Updates to Image Playground reportedly include a gallery redesign and streamlining of controls when creating new images or editing existing ones.
