The first beta of iOS 27 introduces a new 'extra-large' widget size for select Apple apps. These widgets occupy a 4x6 grid on the Home Screen, equivalent to a full page.
The new format may hint at a larger display for a future iPhone Ultra.

Context
Previously, the largest widget size was 4x4. These extra-large widgets display significantly more content per widget, reducing the need to tap into apps for a glance. Additional widgets are expected to be added during the beta cycle.
