Apple pushes the second developer beta of iOS 27 to iPhone 11 and newer, reaching users through the Settings app. Beta 2 follows the first release after WWDC 2026 and sets the stage for a public beta in July.

The update centers on Siri AI, Apple’s rebuilt assistant powered by next‑generation Foundation Models. Siri now supports richer conversations, on‑screen awareness, and deeper app actions, plus a new visual mode in the Camera app and a dedicated conversation log.

Beyond Siri, iOS 27 refines the Liquid Glass design, adds performance boosts for app launches and Camera, and introduces AI‑generated wallpaper. Compatibility limits mean only newer hardware, especially iPhone 17 Pro and Air models, can run the most advanced AI features.

Developers testing beta 2 should expect bugs and battery swings, but the rollout signals Apple’s push toward AI‑centric experiences across Photos, Safari, and more. The release confirms the company’s commitment to embedding AI deeper into the iPhone ecosystem.
