Apple is expected to release iOS 26 public beta this week, bringing a new software experience to iPhone users. As it prepares for a stable rollout, the tech giant is also expected to begin development for the next-generation software update. As per Mark Gurman, iOS 27 features will likely be centred on Apple’s first folding iPhone. Apple may custom-build a dual-screen interface and optimise the software for unique foldable demands.

iOS 27 to be built for iPhone Fold

iPhone Fold buzz is gradually intensifying as Apple is reportedly moving to finalise key elements and crucial parts for manufacturing. Now, analyst Mark Gurman gives us more details about what Apple has been planning for its first folding iPhone. Reportedly, the tech giant will soon start working on the new-generation software, presumably called iOS 27. Gurman said, “Apple will prioritise software features tailored specifically to this new form factor.” This new software will likely focus on the foldable iPhone, bringing features and a user interface that aligns with dual-screen requirements.

Since Apple already masters large-screen software with iPadOS, we can anticipate that iOS 27 for iPhone Fold could carry a few similar UI features as next-gen iPads. However, we can expect a few iterations due to the foldable screen. The most crucial part of foldable UI would be the transition between the cover and main foldable screen, as many company fails to offer smooth transitions. Therefore, tech enthusiasts and foldable buyers will have greater expectations from iPhone Fold, considering the company’s commitment to high-quality devices and one of the most loved software.
