Apple has released the second iOS 27 beta for developer testing. iOS 27 beta 2 replaces the first iOS 27 beta, which arrived after WWDC 2026 earlier this month, and continues Apple’s summer beta cycle ahead of a public release this fall. We’ll update our devices and share what we discover.
Apple releases second iOS 27 developer beta for testing
The second developer beta is available now through the Settings app on eligible iPhones. If you’re enrolled in the Apple Developer Program, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates and choose the iOS 27 Developer Beta.
Apple says it will release the first iOS 27 public beta in July, followed by the final version for everyone this fall.
As always with early developer betas, you should still expect bugs, battery life drops, app compatibility issues, and other rough edges.
