Apple revamps AirPods settings menu in upcoming iOS 27 to make it 'more functional, better organized and more streamlined'—new features expected at WWDC.

Apple is set to unveil iOS 27 at its WWDC conference on June 8, focusing on a significantly redesigned AirPods settings menu. This revamp targets improved usability and organization, as the existing UI, developed years ago, has struggled to accommodate numerous new features.

The revamped settings will highlight major features more effectively, addressing user needs as Apple continues to expand AirPods functionality with updates like head gestures and hearing aid capabilities. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg emphasizes that the new design will make it easier for users to manage their earbuds without key features becoming obscured.

iOS 27 is anticipated to bring various changes across all platforms, including iPadOS 27 and macOS 27. Users can expect a cleaner, more structured interface that improves accessibility while focusing on core features. As iOS 27 nears its September release date, more detailed announcements are expected to come from Apple during the keynote at WWDC.

WWDC 2026 keynote kicks off at 10 AM PT on June 8, where it is likely Apple will showcase these improvements alongside other software innovations.

Apple plans to enhance the AirPods settings menu in the upcoming iOS 27, making it 'more functional, better organized and more streamlined', according to Mark Gurman. The changes, due to be announced at WWDC, aim to highlight major feature options better and improve user accessibility.
