A near-final render of Apple’s rumored iPhone Ultra—a book-style foldable that becomes an iPad when opened—reappears in videos, showing a slimmer 4.5 mm unfolded profile and a redesigned camera island; the coverage also cites iOS 27 code suggesting an exclusive split-screen multitasking feature for the foldable, with rumors of a $2,000+ price and a September 2026 launch.
iOS 27 emphasizes stability, performance, and usability by narrowing device support (e.g., dropping iPhone SE 2nd gen and iPhone 11 series) while introducing practical upgrades: a Liquid Glass Slider for display fine-tuning, Undo/Redo for Home Screen edits, and long-awaited split-screen multitasking; Siri becomes Siri 2.0 with Gemini AI for smarter queries and a dedicated Siri Chat app; accessibility gets broader features (voice-over, magnifier, expanded language support, better hearing aid handoff); core apps gain AI-powered and smarter capabilities, plus Apple Intelligence tools like image and writing enhancements. Additional refinements include battery/mic indicators, AirPods management, expanded satellite connectivity, and Sony Access Controller support—overall a focus on reliability and everyday usability.
An iOS 17 concept designed by Basic Appe Guy imagines Landscape mode and Split Screen multitasking on the iPhone. The concept shows how Apple could potentially make use of the larger display on bigger iPhone models to offer Landscape mode and Split Screen multitasking. While there are no concrete details if Apple is indeed working on the features, iOS 17 will be a major update considering the number of features it will bring to the table, and it will be announced at the WWDC 2023 event on June 5.
