iOS 27 Public Beta Arrives This Month—Prep Your iPhone Now

Apple says the iOS 27 public beta will be released in July 2026. You can join for free at beta.apple.com and install the beta via Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates (restart if not shown). The beta supports iPhone 11 and newer, but Apple Intelligence features like Siri AI are limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and newer, with a waitlist for access. Betas can be buggy and may affect apps or CarPlay, so back up your device (ideally use a secondary iPhone if possible). New features include Liquid Glass design updates, performance improvements, and expanded child-safety features.
