Apple has released iOS 27.2, the first major update to iOS 27, bringing FaceTime Dual Capture and an Apple Music logo change, but notably omitting the planned Apple Health revamp. After four developer beta cycles and one release candidate, the update is now available to the public for all compatible iPhones.
The upgrade is unusual in that it jumps over iOS 27.1, which Apple has been using exclusively with the iPhone Duo due to its foldable dual-screen design. With the release of iOS 27.2, both iPhone Duo and standard iPhones receive the update, with build 24B119 replacing the earlier release candidate 24B115.
The first developer beta introduced a redesigned Health app designed to work alongside the health sensing systems of the Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Apple Watch Series 12, but Apple removed it entirely by the fourth beta, intending to install it later. Other features include expanded Siri AI localization supporting French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish, FaceTime Dual Capture support, and Apple TV app profiles matching tvOS 26.2.
Additional changes include a new Auto Lock security feature that detects threats like sharp acceleration or paired Apple Watch inaccessibility, a black-and-white Apple Music icon, and a new HomePod setting to lock touch controls. Users can install the update via Settings > General > Software Update.
