iOS 27 makes your iPhone faster in 40+ ways, here’s the full list

While Apple Intelligence and Siri AI are the biggest additions to iOS 27, the update will also make your iPhone noticeably faster. In fact, Apple has outlined more than 40 ways in which your iPhone will be faster after you update to iOS 27 later this year.

When Apple announced iOS 27 last week, the company emphasized that it combed through its software to make it faster and more reliable. “Improvements across platforms push key system capabilities forward so everyday tasks feel faster, smoother, and more enjoyable,” Apple said.

Here are more than 40 ways Apple says iOS 27 makes your iPhone and iPad faster:

iOS 27 is compatible with iPhone models dating back to the iPhone 11. In fact, Apple even says that some of its performance metrics are based on testing it conducted with the iPhone 11 lineup.

For example, Apple says that apps launch up to 30% faster with iOS 27. This statistic is based on testing Apple performed on the iPhone 11 Pro Max, comparing app launch speeds between one model running iOS 26.4.2 and another running iOS 27.

All of this is very impressive — especially for people using “older” iPhone models. Apple has fixed enough bugs and made such a jump in performance that I think most iPhone users will notice a big improvement when they install iOS 27 later this year. It’s particularly impressive when you consider Apple made all these improvements to performance while simultaneously implementing a ground-up revamp of Siri.

iOS 27 is currently available to developers in beta. A public beta will be released in July, followed by a release to everyone this fall.
