iOS 27 May Get a Major Keyboard Upgrade
▼ Summary
– Apple is testing an updated iPhone keyboard with enhanced autocorrect that suggests alternative words.
– This feature, similar to tools like Grammarly, could potentially be powered by Apple Intelligence.
– The keyboard plans were mentioned in a report primarily focused on Siri’s new multi-request capabilities in iOS 27.
– Apple has not finalized a decision to release this keyboard, but it would likely debut with iOS 27 if approved.
– A recent iOS 26.4 update already improved keyboard accuracy for fast typing.
A significant upgrade to the iPhone’s native keyboard may be on the horizon with the launch of iOS 27 this fall. According to a recent report, Apple has been internally testing an enhanced autocorrect system that would offer users alternative word suggestions, moving beyond simple typo fixes. This functionality would resemble the contextual assistance provided by third-party tools like Grammarly.
The report indicates the new system would analyze text and propose different word choices to improve clarity or tone. While specific technical details remain unconfirmed, this expanded capability would logically be powered by Apple Intelligence, the company’s on-device AI framework. This integration would mark a substantial evolution for the built-in keyboard, which received incremental improvements to typing accuracy in the recent iOS 26.4 update.
These keyboard plans were mentioned alongside a broader look at Siri’s potential upgrades in iOS 27, which may include the ability to process multiple commands from a single query. Apple has reportedly not finalized a decision to release the revamped keyboard publicly. Should it move forward, the feature would likely be unveiled as part of the first iOS 27 developer beta in June, ahead of a general release in September.
