A major iOS 26 leak has revealed what’s coming to Apple’s next round of iPhones and the list is longer than expected. From smarter AI features to deeper health tracking, the Apple iPhone 17 Pro and its siblings look set to get meaningful upgrades across the board.
Apple iPhone 17 Pro may launch with Health+ subscription

One of the most surprising revelations is a new paid subscription called Apple Health+. While Apple hasn’t confirmed details yet, the iOS 26 beta code suggests it will bring premium AI-powered features to the Health app. What those features include remains under wraps, but the move hints at Apple’s broader shift toward monetizing health and wellness tools.
Smarter Siri powered by AI could arrive by spring
The same code points to a huge upgrade for Siri. Features labeled IntelligenceFlow, PlanOverrides, and SpotlightSearchToolLLMQueryUnderstanding suggest Apple is working on a more context-aware version of Siri possibly a full AI chatbot. These upgrades may start rolling out in spring 2026, aligning with earlier rumors about Siri’s long-awaited transformation.
Wallet and Journal apps to get useful automation
Beyond Siri and health features, several quality-of-life changes are on the horizon. According to the leak, Apple Wallet will alert users about upcoming payments, and third-party apps will soon autofill credit card details using Apple Pay. Meanwhile, the Journal app will start recognizing follow-up prompts, making it feel more interactive.
Other Apple iPhone 17 Pro features teased in iOS 26
Here’s a breakdown of smaller but welcome changes expected across iOS 26 and iOS 27:
- Live captions expanding to more languages
- Freeform app finally getting folders
- Shared photo collections in the Photos app
- New sleep tracking tools inside Apple Health
These changes will likely roll out in waves some with iOS 26 and others arriving with iOS 27 in late 2026.
Apple iPhone 17 Pro leads a broader AI shift
While most of these features are part of iOS updates, the Apple iPhone 17 Pro appears to be a key testing ground for them. Apple seems to be setting the stage for a more AI-driven user experience, with Health+, a reimagined Siri, and tighter app automation working together. If the leak holds true, 2026 could mark the iPhone’s most meaningful evolution in years.
