Apple Home adds AI video descriptions and 4K in iOS 27

iOS 27 brings major upgrades to the Home app's HomeKit Secure Video: Apple Intelligence generates clip descriptions, enables search in footage and highlights noteworthy clips, while 4K streaming and recording replace the previous 1080p limit. Another AI feature merges related notifications into a single real-time updating alert.

• HomeKit Secure Video now supports 4K streaming and recording instead of 1080p
• Apple Intelligence generates descriptions of clip sequences and finds moments like package deliveries
• Noteworthy clips are elevated at the top of the Home app's Search page
• Related notifications combine into one real-time updating alert with a Reduce Notifications toggle
