iPhone – Introducing iOS 27
Via Zoom

Apple has released its latest version of the operating system – iOS 27! This latest version provides a complete overhaul of Siri, the iPhone’s voice assistant. In addition, there are updates to most of the iPhone’s pre-installed apps. Join us as we discuss some of the more important new features of iOS 27, including those that are highly anticipated and those that are again making more robust use of Apple Intelligence. The updated operating system will be available for iPhone 11 and more recent. Even if your phone is not an iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max or more recent and you do not have access to all the Apple Intelligence enabled features, you will still have access to many of the iOS 27 new features. Anyone with an iPhone capable of downloading iOS 27 will soon be required to use this new operating system to ensure your iPhone and data stay secure.

iPhone - Overview of Standard (Preinstalled) Apps (Part IV)

This is the final session in our four-part series covering some of the apps preinstalled on the iPhone. Learn about any new features that Apple may have introduced with the latest iOS updates.
We will end our series with an overview of Health, Journal, Passwords, and Translate. The Health app is a useful tool for keeping track of your medical records and history. If you like keeping a journal or recording your travel adventures, you will want to learn about the Journal app. Keeping your passwords safe and handy, and using Passkeys is easier when using Apple’s password manager, Passwords. How about being able to translate text and conversation with one simple app? See how easy it is to use Apple’s Translator app installed on the iPhone. (Some translation capabilities are AI-powered and require the use of an iPhone 15 Pro or later model.)
