Apple hosted the Apple Event 2026 at Apple Park last night. At the event, Apple CEO John Ternus unveiled the company’s new iPhone models, which includes the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max and the iPhone Duo. All of these new iPhone models run Apple’s latest mobile operating system, that is, iOS 27, which was announced by the former CEO, Tim Cook, at his last WWDC keynote in June this year. Along with iOS 27, Cook had also announced an updated Siri, dubbed as Siri AI.
At today’s event, Apple confirmed that iOS 27 will arrive on older iPhone models starting September 14. The company also confirmed that Apple Intelligence will now support 16 languages includes English, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Vietnamese. Coming to Siri AI, Apple confirmed that it will be available in five additional languages, which includes French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, in October this year.
