Enter your passcode and leave it to finish. Your iPhone restarts when it’s done. If it says it needs more space, it can move some apps aside for a while and put them back after.
Which iPhones get iOS 27
- iPhone 11 and every iPhone since, including iPhone Air and the e models
- iPhone SE, 2nd generation and later
Not sure which you have? Settings, General, About shows the model name. An older iPhone can’t get iOS 27, and that’s fine: your keepsake still works, in Wallet’s classic layout.
