Claim 3: “Apple’s iOS 27 unveiling on June 8 at WWDC”

DISPUTED

The claim states iOS 27 is being unveiled on June 8. However, Wikipedia evidence shows that 'Apple Intelligence' was announced on June 10, 2024, at WWDC. Given the current versioning of iOS (which is far below 27), and the specific date contradiction (June 8 vs June 10), the claim is factually incorrect based on the provided evidence.
