Apple's press release for the iPhone Duo last week said the device will ship with iOS 27.1, which essentially confirms the software update's release timing. iPhone Duo launches on Friday, October 23, so we can expect iOS 27.1 to be released by that date at the latest — likely several days earlier. iOS 27 will be released to the public today, and the first beta of iOS 27.1 will likely follow soon after. New Features to Expect During its iPhone event last week, Apple announced that Siri AI will be available in French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish starting in October, and this expanded language support beyond English will likely arrive with iOS 27.1 based on that timeframe, as the software update itself will likely be released in October. Apple recently said that two new features will not be available in the initial iOS 27 release, including suggestions like "Add to Reminders" and "Add to Notes" in the Messages app and the ability to automatically fix compromised passwords with a single tap in the Passwords app. Apple merely said these features will arrive in a "future software update," and iOS 27.1 will likely be the earliest opportunity for that to happen. And of course, iOS 27.1 supports the iPhone Duo's unique foldable interface.

Following three months of beta testing, iOS 27 will be released to the public today, and the first beta of iOS 27.1 will likely follow soon after.

And of course, iOS 27.1 supports the iPhone Duo's unique foldable interface. This is all that is known for now, but we expect iOS 27.1 to include other new features, bug fixes, and security fixes, so stay tuned.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27 Related Forum: iOS 27 This article, "iOS 27.1: New Features to Expect and Release Date" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums
