Siri AI expands to five new languages in October.

Two delayed features are likely headed to iOS 27.1. Apple said the "Add to Reminders" and "Add to Notes" suggestions in the Messages app will not be in the initial iOS 27 release. The ability to automatically fix compromised passwords with a single tap in the Passwords app is also absent from the first version.

iOS 27.1 adds support for the iPhone Duo's foldable interface.

The company described both as arriving in a "future software update." iOS 27.1 represents the earliest opportunity for them based on the October timing.

iOS 27.1 adds support for the iPhone Duo's foldable interface. The update will enable the unique hardware design of the new device. Additional features, bug fixes, and security fixes are also anticipated in the release.
