      Safari may soon introduce a feature that tab hoarders have long been waiting for. Apple is said to be utilizing AI to tidy up the chaos.

      Is it possible that Safari in iOS 27 will finally organize your messy tabs automatically?

      As per Mark Gurman's latest newsletter, Apple is testing a new feature for Safari in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 that can automatically group browser tabs. This feature enhances Safari’s existing Tab Groups function, which allows users to categorize tabs for work, travel, recipes, or personal browsing.

      Rather than having to sort everything by hand, Safari might soon automatically organize tabs by browsing themes and user behavior. In test versions of iOS 27, there’s reportedly a new “Organize Tabs” option available within Safari. When activated, the system can automatically categorize tabs based on frequently visited topics.

      It is important to note that Apple isn’t explicitly labeling this as an Apple Intelligence feature, but it’s clear that tabs don’t organize themselves. Some form of AI is undoubtedly managing the task behind the scenes. Furthermore, the system operates quietly and passively, meaning users won't need to frequently manage or relabel groups. Instead, Safari will autonomously keep related tabs grouped over time.

      Is AI being used correctly?

      There has been considerable discussion about enhancing Safari’s tab features to improve usability, and it’s refreshing to see Apple finally implementing helpful changes. This aligns well with the anticipated focus of iOS 27. Instead of flashy redesigns or gimmicky chatbots, this kind of feature is likely something users will utilize daily without much thought.

      Apple appears to be focusing on refining usability and systematically addressing long-standing minor annoyances, which could prove to be a more pragmatic strategy.

      I thought I needed an iPhone Pro until I started considering how I actually use it

      For a time, I was convinced that I had to upgrade to an iPhone Pro. It wasn't because I genuinely assessed my requirements from a phone, but rather due to persuasive marketing. The allure of triple cameras, a titanium build, and a ProMotion display created a lingering notion that choosing the standard iPhone would mean settling. It felt like I’d be missing out on the “true” experience. However, I shifted my focus from specs to my actual usage, and the rationale for opting for a Pro gradually disintegrated.

      Apple sure knows how to make one question the regular iPhone.

      I used to dread transferring files between devices — now it's hardly an issue

      My work requires me to share files constantly, and with a mix of iPhones, Android devices, and a MacBook in my daily routine, transferring files between them was often more tedious than it should have been. A simple task like transferring a photo or video from an Android phone to my MacBook frequently turned into a multi-step ordeal. Typically, I had to upload files to Google Drive, wait for synchronization, and then download them on another device. It appears manageable when described once, but repeating that multiple times a day quickly becomes a drain on both time and patience.

      This challenge stemmed largely from tech ecosystems that have historically created barriers. Apple's walls were particularly high, but Android had its own limitations as well. For a long time, it seemed that no one was keen on facilitating smooth cooperation between these devices. However, over time, that situation has begun to change. The impact on my daily workflow has been far more significant than I expected.

      The iPhone Air demonstrates why smaller phones remain the preferable choice

      While ultra-slim phones are attractive, compact devices tackle the real issue.

      I understand the allure of sleek devices like the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge. Upon picking them up, they provide a distinctly different feel compared to a standard smartphone. The iPhone Air is incredibly thin at 5.64mm, weighing only 165 grams, yet still features a large 6.5-inch OLED display with ProMotion.

      In terms of comfort, Apple gets it right for this form factor. Many smartphones today can be tiresome to handle in a specific way — they're either too tall, bulkily weighted with cameras, or cumbersome to hold and use with one hand over extended periods. The iPhone Air minimizes this fatigue by being both lighter and slimmer.
