Apple Delays 2 iOS 27 Features Ahead of Sept. 14 Release

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · Sep 11

Summary

  • Apple updated its website to remove Messages suggestions and automatic password changes from iOS 27, saying both will arrive in a future software update instead of the Sept. 14 launch.
  • The delay also applies to iPadOS 27 and macOS 27, narrowing the feature set that had appeared in beta versions of the software.
  • Automatic password changes had already disappeared in iOS 27 beta 5, after Reddit users spotted the change before Apple formally confirmed it.
  • The postponed tools were designed to let users add conversation-based suggestions from Messages into apps like Reminders or Calendar, and to let the Passwords app automatically replace weak or compromised logins using Apple Intelligence and Safari.
  • Apple gave no timetable for restoring either feature, underscoring that some headline AI-driven capabilities remain unfinished even as iOS 27 ships.
