iOS 27 landed this week, and behind the feature list — a genuinely conversational Siri, a retouched Liquid Glass interface, apps that launch 30% faster — there's really one message for anyone who ships apps: the ground is shifting, and your app has to shift with it. The new Siri understands context, reads the screen and acts inside apps; Split View comes to the foldable iPhone; RCS finally brings conversations with Android closer.

At Devside, an iOS release isn't a box to tick but an appointment to keep. We look at what breaks, what improves on its own, and what deserves a hands-on change — exposing an app action to the new Siri, making the most of Split View on bigger screens. One detail that matters here: the next-generation Siri arrives later in Europe for regulatory reasons, so we design without depending on it. A well-kept app welcomes the update; a neglected one is dragged along by it.
