Apple has released the fourth iOS 27.2 developer beta for iPhone. The update follows the release of iOS 27 to everyone, and it skips over iOS 27.1, which Apple has positioned as a release focused on the iPhone Duo.
iOS 27.2 is the next release after the official launch of iOS 27 on September 14. iOS 27.1 is limited to the iPhone Duo. Apple has already detailed how the iOS 27.1 SDK will let developers take full advantage of the iPhone Duo display, and it has explained how apps will appear on the device depending on which iOS version they target. Apple released Xcode 27.1 beta on September 18, adding an iPhone Duo simulator and app development support for the new foldable iPhone. Apple also released the first iOS 27.2 public beta last month.
The iOS 27.2 beta includes the redesigned Health app first announced at the iPhone 18 Pro event, which is now live in this beta. Dual capture mode comes to Group FaceTime, and Siri AI language support now includes French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. Apple TV app profiles also arrive on iPhone.
Apple Podcasts has several updates. Up Next is now New Episodes, and the Continue Playing section sits directly below it. Podcasts also gain color-matched backgrounds on episode lists. In Apple Music, the app now uses less of the icon's color for labels. 9to5Mac says it will cover any additional new features and changes from the fourth beta in a separate roundup.
