Apple has made the developer beta for iOS 27 available following its announcement at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2026. This update will be accessible to most iPhone users in the fall, although the exact timing may vary based on carrier and regional regulations. The iOS 27 beta can be installed on iPhone models newer than the iPhone 11, as Apple has removed support for the iPhone X lineup and the second-generation iPhone SE. Users are advised to back up their devices and refrain from using their primary phones for beta testing due to potential bugs. The public beta version is expected to be released in July 2026, with the general release anticipated in September, coinciding with the iPhone 18 launch event. To participate, users need to join the Apple Beta program and enable Beta Updates in their device settings to receive the latest updates automatically. Once the full version is available, users can download it through the Software Update section in their settings.
