Not every feature on Apple’s iOS 27 pages is new on September 14. Apple’s own listings mark Image Wand in Notes and Live Translation in Messages and FaceTime as available now, which means both shipped before the free Monday update rather than with it. iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max ship with iOS 27 on…

iOS 27 installs Monday, September 14 on an iPhone 11 or later, including the iPhone SE (2nd generation and later), exactly as it did with iOS 26.
