3 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · Nov 9

Summary

  • iOS 27.3, now in beta and due next month, will bring three headline additions to iPhones: a redesigned Health app, Apple Music’s Selfie Sing, and broader StandBy upgrades.
  • The new Health app is returning after appearing in the iOS 27.2 beta and being pulled before release; on Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhones, it adds Insights and Longevity tabs with personalized recommendations.
  • Health features also include expert educational videos, at-home movement evaluations using the iPhone camera, and tools to order and log lab results.
  • Apple Music’s Selfie Sing turns the iPhone into a karaoke video tool by placing lyrics under the camera feed so users can record and share performances on social platforms.
  • StandBy improvements first introduced on iPhone Duo are expanding to all iPhones, adding new Weather and Calendar faces, more clock customization, Shared Albums support, and multiple face setups.
