Apple's next iPhone update, iOS 27.3, is expected next month and is already in testing. According to 9to5Mac, it brings three changes: a new Health app with personalized tips, a karaoke video tool in Apple Music, and better StandBy mode for all iPhones. StandBy is the display mode that turns a charging iPhone into a bedside clock or dashboard.

What is new

The new Health app adds Insights and Longevity tabs with personalized recommendations. It also includes educational videos from clinical experts, at-home movement checks that use the iPhone camera, and a way to order and log lab tests. It is for iPhones that support Apple Intelligence, Apple's set of AI features. Apple tested this app in the iOS 27.2 beta, then pulled it before the public release. It had promised the app would return later this year.

Apple Music gets Selfie Sing. You film yourself with the iPhone camera while song lyrics appear below the video, then share the clip on social platforms. StandBy upgrades that were once exclusive to iPhone Duo are coming to all iPhones. You can also make several versions of each face and swipe between them.

What is not known yet

The material does not give an exact release date, a price, or details on which labs can be ordered. It also does not say whether any Health features cost extra. Beta software can still change before launch.

The takeaway

If your iPhone supports Apple Intelligence, expect the new Health app next month, while Selfie Sing and the StandBy upgrades come to all iPhones.
