Apple released iOS 27 Beta 2, rolling out a new Write with Siri button that sits atop the keyboard in Notes, Mail and Messages, replacing the earlier text‑selection‑only mode. The update also marks the first appearance of the Wallet Insights feature, promising spending and balance overviews.

Developers now see a broader set of changes. Siri voice customization on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air shows Pace and Expressivity as "Coming Soon," a tweak that was non‑functional in Beta 1. The Home app gains remote Apple TV firmware updates, and RCS replies now mirror iMessage behavior.

Camera and Photos receive visual tweaks: yellow highlights flag hidden tools, while AI tools extend to RAW images. HomeKit Secure Video notifications can trigger video playback or nearby light activation, and Philips Hue lights that previously misbehaved after the upgrade are now stable.

Apple plans a public beta for July and a September launch alongside new iPhones. The beta signals a shift toward tighter Siri integration and richer Wallet data, setting the stage for a more connected iOS ecosystem.
