One significant enhancement is the Dual Capture feature for group FaceTime calls. This functionality will enable users with compatible iPhone models to utilize both the rear and selfie cameras simultaneously during multi-person calls, as reported by 9to5Mac.

The Health app will see a redesign, which Apple first showcased during its September event for the new iPhones. The updated app will be organized into three tabs: Insights, Longevity, and Browse, allowing users to easily access current health data and track their health information over time, according to MacRumors.

In Messages, a new Suggestions feature will provide context-specific prompts based on the conversation. For instance, if a contact discusses an event date, users will receive options to quickly add it to their calendar or set reminders. This feature, which had been included in the original iOS 27 beta but was later removed, is expected to enhance the messaging experience by helping users locate relevant information such as photos and contacts.

Apple Podcasts will also receive updates, with the "Up Next" section being divided into two distinct areas. New Episodes will showcase the latest episodes from subscribed podcasts, while a new section, Continue Playing, will display episodes currently in a user's queue, as detailed by MacRumors.

A minor but interesting addition will be the Call Context feature. If a contact with an anniversary is calling, users will be reminded of the occasion at that moment.

Finally, the Apple TV app will finally introduce user profiles, allowing viewers to have personalized recommendations based on their watch history. This update aligns with expectations of a new Apple TV device launch in early October, as noted by MacRumors.
