Apple today released the third public betas of tvOS 27 and watchOS 27, giving Apple TV and Apple Watch users a chance to try the new software ahead of its fall launch. There's also a new HomePod Software 27 beta for the HomePod and HomePod mini. You can sign up for Apple's public beta testing program on the beta website, then download the updates through the Settings app on each device.

watchOS 27 adopts Siri AI, and you can use Siri from your wrist as long as you have an iPhone that supports it. Siri AI can access personal information, answer questions, and complete tasks. There is a dedicated Siri app in the new dynamic app grid. A new gesture selects widgets in the Smart Stack, and Apple added suggestions for finding a parked car, accessing a transit card, and getting a birthday reminder. Workout Buddy works without your iPhone nearby, treadmill distances are tracked more accurately, and a unified Find My app supports Precision Finding.

tvOS 27 has a redesigned Podcasts app, Hi-Res Lossless audio and AutoMix song transitions in Apple Music, and easier profile switching. With performance improvements, apps launch faster, animations are speedier, and devices connect more quickly when AirPlaying content. More details can be found in our watchOS 27 and Apple TV roundups.
