Apple's iOS 27: Old Android Tricks in a New Package. It happens every year like clockwork 🕰️ Apple takes the stage at WWDC, announces the next generation of iOS, and Android users everywhere look at their screens and say, "Wait, you guys are just getting that now?" 😲 At WWDC 2026, Apple officially unveiled iOS 27. While it brings some highly anticipated updates—especially around an AI-overhauled Siri and Liquid Glass interface tweaks—a handful of the headlining features are mechanics that Android users have been taking for granted for over a decade. 📅 One of the most baseline quality of life features Apple has adopted is independent volume sliders. In iOS 27, you can finally adjust the volumes for your ringtone, notifications, and alarms independently from one another using dedicated sliders. 🔊 Another thing is the introduction of extra-large home screen widgets. iOS 27 expands the home screen canvas to support massive, full-pane four by six widgets. 📱 We also see new capabilities in generative photo editing, like the Extend and Reframe tools. The Photos app is getting a massive AI boost, allowing users to uncrop an image and manufacture visual details beyond the original frame, or shift perspectives and balance symmetry post-shot. 📸 While it's easy to tease Apple for being late to the party, their classic philosophy remains on display: they care more about polish than being first. When Apple finally adopts these features, they usually implement them with incredibly smooth animations and system-wide ecosystem stability. Still, if you are an iPhone user upgrading to iOS 27 this fall, don't hesitate to send a quiet thank you note to Android for doing the beta testing for the last decade.
