Four New Apple Intelligence Features Leaked for iOS 27 Ahead of WWDC
Apple is preparing at least four new Apple Intelligence features for iOS 27, according to code strings uncovered in the company's backend servers.
The additions focus on expanding Visual Intelligence, Safari, and Wallet, and they surfaced just weeks before Apple is scheduled to preview the software update at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
Developer Nicolás Alvarez first spotted the references in Apple's code on April 16.
The features remain unannounced by the company and could still change before the public release expected in September alongside new iPhones.
All four rely on Apple Intelligence, which limits them to iPhone 15 Pro models and newer devices equipped with the necessary on-device processing capabilities.
Two of the upgrades target Visual Intelligence, the camera-based AI tool that already lets users point their iPhone at objects for information.
One would allow the system to scan nutrition labels on food packaging and pull up detailed ingredient and nutritional data, with the potential to feed that information directly into the Health app for tracking purposes.
The second would recognize printed phone numbers, addresses, or business card details and offer to add them automatically to the Contacts app, building on the existing ability to scan dates and create Calendar events.
Safari stands to gain an AI-assisted organization tool that automatically names tab groups based on the content of the open tabs inside them.
For example, a collection of car-related pages could receive a suggested label such as "Cars" without manual input.
In the Wallet app, users would gain the ability to scan physical tickets, membership cards, or event passes and convert them into digital versions stored directly in Wallet.
A similar function has existed in Google Wallet since 2024, and the addition would address long-standing requests for native support in Apple's app.
The timing aligns with broader work on Apple Intelligence that includes a more capable version of Siri expected in iOS 27.
These features also fit into Apple's reported development of AI-powered wearables such as smart glasses and camera-equipped AirPods, where enhanced visual recognition could play a larger role.
The leaked capabilities point to Apple's strategy of deepening Apple Intelligence integration across core system apps rather than introducing entirely new standalone tools.
While the company has not commented on the code references, the details match the pattern of backend preparation that has preceded previous iOS feature rollouts.
