Apple’s next major software release, iOS 27, is reportedly set to introduce a level of Camera app customization that photographers and power users have long demanded. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the update will make the Camera app “fully customizable,” allowing users to “pick their own set of controls , called widgets , that run along the top of the interface.”
While the current default widget arrangement will remain available, iOS 27 will let you “be able to switch over to an ‘advanced’ array of options or choose their own items.” From there, you can select controls from a new “Add Widgets” tray, which organizes options into three categories: basic, manual, and settings. Notably, each capture mode within the Camera app will have its own distinct set of widgets. Gurman also reports that the Camera app will gain a new “Siri” mode specifically designed for leveraging Apple’s visual intelligence features.
Beyond the Camera app, iOS 27 is expected to bring design overhauls to several other apps. Siri will reportedly be integrated into the Dynamic Island, and Apple’s AI assistant may receive its own dedicated app along with expanded support for third-party AI models. The Image Playground app and the Safari start page are also said to be getting redesigns, while the Weather app will add a new “Conditions” section for more detailed atmospheric data.
