Overview
- Apple released second developer betas for iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS 27.2 Golden Gate, watchOS 27.2, tvOS 27.2 and visionOS 27.2, which Monday confirmed the next wave of post‑iOS 27 testing across its major platforms.
- iOS 27.2 and watchOS 27.2 include a rebuilt Health app with new Insights and Longevity tabs and a readiness score that uses metrics from the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4.
- Siri AI in the 27.2 betas is expanding beyond U.S. English to add French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish on supported devices.
- The betas also enable user features such as Group FaceTime dual capture, Apple TV app profiles on iPhone, and interface tweaks for Podcasts and Apple Music that were visible in the first seeds.
- Apple skipped a public 27.1 beta to keep iPhone Duo–specific code private, public 27.2 betas are expected to follow soon, and outlets advise installing developer betas only on secondary devices because they can be unstable.
