According to reports from detikINET, Apple officially began rolling out iOS 27 on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, in the early hours WIB. This major software update introduces extensive system improvements, a redesigned Liquid Glass visual interface, and the integration of Siri AI.
Compatible iPhone Models and Hardware Limitations
According to detikINET, Apple maintained backward compatibility with older devices by ensuring iOS 27 supports models starting from the iPhone 11 and the second-generation iPhone SE. The full list of compatible hardware includes the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Duo, iPhone 17e, iPhone 17 series, iPhone Air, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16 series, iPhone 15 series, iPhone 14 series, iPhone 13 series, iPhone 12 series, and iPhone 11 series, alongside newer device releases.
However, detikINET notes that hardware restrictions apply to advanced features. While older devices can run iOS 27, full access to Apple Intelligence and Siri AI requires powerful hardware found primarily on the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and subsequent generations.
Siri AI and Apple Intelligence Capabilities
As reported by detikINET, Siri AI features a dedicated application interface designed for natural conversations, context retention from previous interactions, on-screen awareness, and system-wide app actions. Additional tools include Write with Siri for text editing and Visual Intelligence via the device camera.
Photos receives Spatial Reframing and Extend tools, while Safari gains automatic tab grouping and webpage tracking. Shared Albums in iCloud now support full-resolution media sharing with cross-platform compatibility for Android and Windows users, as detailed by detikINET.
Performance Upgrades and Interface Redesigns
According to detikINET, Apple’s internal testing demonstrates significant performance leaps. Applications open up to 30% faster, new photos load up to 70% quicker, and AirDrop transfer speeds increase by up to 80% compared to devices running iOS 26.6. Connectivity is also optimized for smoother transitions between Wi-Fi and cellular networks.
Visual changes include a refined Liquid Glass interface. Users can adjust UI transparency using a new slider in the Settings menu. Spotlight, Photos, and Mail search systems have been upgraded for improved stability and relevance.
Pro Tip: Before installing iOS 27 via over-the-air (OTA) updates, ensure your battery level is above 50% and connect to a stable Wi-Fi network to handle the large file download safely. Always back up your data to iCloud or a computer beforehand.
Language Availability and Regional Rollout
According to detikINET, Siri AI launches initially in English beta, with support for French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish scheduled for October. Indonesian language support for conversational Siri AI is currently absent from Apple’s official roster, though users can still input text prompts in Indonesian for specific Apple Intelligence functions.
