iOS 27 Rumored to Feature Keyboard Upgrade
Apple has tested an updated iPhone keyboard with autocorrect enhancements, according to a report this week from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
The report said the keyboard "expands autocorrect by offering alternative words," similar to tools like Grammarly. "It suggests alternative words in addition to word fixes like today's autocorrect," said Gurman, in a follow-up social media post.
Grammarly evolved to use AI in recent years, so perhaps the iPhone keyboard's expanded autocorrect system would be powered by Apple Intelligence. The report did not provide any further details, so we will have to wait and see.
Gurman briefly touched on the keyboard plans in a report focused on how Siri may be able to handle multiple requests in a single query on iOS 27.
Apple has not made a final decision on whether to release the updated keyboard, according to Gurman, but it would presumably debut as part of iOS 27 as well if it does materialize. The first developer beta of iOS 27 is expected to be released in June, and the software update should be widely released in September.
iOS 26.4 already "improved keyboard accuracy when typing quickly," according to Apple's release notes for that update, released last week.
