Apple releases fourth beta version of iOS 27.2
Apple today released the fourth beta of an upcoming iOS 27.2 update to developers for testing, with the update coming a week after Apple released the third beta of iOS 27.2. Apple also launched a new beta version of iPadOS 27.2.
Registered developers can download beta updates by registering under Settings > General > Software Update and selecting iOS 27 Developer Beta.
iOS 27.2 includes Apple’s redesigned Health app with new Insight and Longevity tabs. It also brings Siri AI to new languages. There are several other new features, with details available in our 4re5 features guide.
Apple releasing a beta of iOS 27.2 before a beta of iOS 27.1 was a surprise because the company plans to ship the iPhone Duo with iOS 27.1, but it likely wants to keep some iPhone Duo features hidden for longer.
The iPhone Duo will launch on October 23. Apple previously said that the new Siri AI languages in iOS 27.2 would be available in October, so it’s likely that iOS 27.2 will arrive shortly after the iPhone Duo release date. iOS 27.2 is also required for the new HomeView.
