Apple has released the first iOS 27.2 developer beta for iPhone, following the official launch of iOS 27 on September 14. The new version comes as a sizable 22GB update, skipping over iOS 27.1, which Apple has shown as an iPhone Duo-focused release.

iOS 27.2 beta 1 arrives before iOS 27.1 beta. Apple presumably wants to save iPhone Duo-specific code until closer to the new hardware’s release in October. However, developers will still need to prepare their apps for the new device. Apple has said to expect the tools for this to be ready by the end of September.

Apple has already pointed to other changes for all iPhones coming next month. This includes the redesigned Apple Health app as well as expanded Siri AI support. “A more capable and conversational assistant with personal context understanding, broad world knowledge, onscreen awareness, and even more systemwide app actions, Siri AI is now rolling out as a beta in English, with support for French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish coming in October,” Apple confirmed this week.

We’ll know more about what Apple has included in this first release once we have it running. Stay tuned for our ongoing iOS 27.2 beta coverage.
