Apple today released the first beta of an upcoming iOS 27.2 update to developers for testing, with the update available just two days after the launch of iOS 27. Apple also launched a beta of iPadOS 27.2.
Registered developers can download beta updates by registering under Settings > General > Software Update and selecting iOS 27 Developer Beta.
Siri AI will be available in new languages later this year and support could be added in iOS 27.2. Apple is adding French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish in October.
Two Apple Intelligence features were removed from the launch version of iOS 27, and these could also be reintroduced as soon as iOS 27.2. Apple has delayed suggestions in Messages conversations and the ability to automatically fix compromised and weak passwords using AI.
Apple is also planning to launch a new Health app experience, and we might see that in beta as well.
Apple releasing an iOS 27.2 beta before an iOS 27.1 beta is a surprise, especially since the company plans to ship the iPhone Duo with iOS 27.1. Apple may keep iOS 27.1 until the Duo is released, just to keep the features under wraps. iOS 27.1 will add updated app layouts and features designed for both iPhone Duo screens. The iPhone Duo will feature a vertical dock, a vertical Dynamic Island, new dual-screen app layouts, side-by-side multitasking apps, and exclusive Camera app capabilities.
Since the iPhone Duo launches on Friday, October 23 and ships with iOS 27.1, Apple will need to release the iOS 27.1 update before then. If iOS 27.2 includes new Siri AI languages, it will also launch during the month of October.
