A recent look into Apple’s backend software code revealed four upcoming artificial intelligence features for the iPhone. These helpful additions will likely arrive with the iOS 27 update later this year.
The newly discovered tools focus on making daily tasks easier across basic built-in applications like the web browser, digital wallet, and camera. Here is a quick look at what it is currently building, which is found in the leaked code.
New camera tools will read food labels and save phone numbers
Apple is expanding its visual search tool to help track your diet and manage contacts. The software will soon allow the iPhone camera to scan nutrition labels on packaged foods. This feature likely connects to the Health app, making it simple to log calories without typing manually.
The camera will also spot phone numbers and addresses on paper. When scanning a business card, the phone will automatically offer to save those details right into your contacts list.
The digital wallet turns physical membership cards into digital passes
The Wallet app is preparing to add a highly requested convenience feature. Apple plans to let users scan physical items like gym membership cards directly into the phone. Once scanned, the software analyzes the card and creates a digital version to keep in the app.
This addition means you will no longer need to carry around a thick physical wallet just to enter your local gym or attend a concert.
The web browser automatically organizes and names your open tabs
Safari is getting a smart upgrade to help clean up digital clutter. Currently, users group open tabs together and manually type out a name for that folder.
With iOS 27, the browser will use artificial intelligence to understand what you are reading. It will then suggest a helpful name for your group based on the content. If you open multiple pages about sports, the software will label the folder accordingly.
These upcoming updates show that Apple wants to make everyday phone tasks much faster and easier to handle. We will likely hear the full official details when it reveals iOS 27 at its developer event this June. Until then, these early code leaks give us a great sneak peek at how Apple devices will get smarter later this year.
