July 12 update: this post, first published on July 11, was updated with more information, including a new report from Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

Apple announced the next-generation of iPhone software, iOS 27, at its Wordwide Developers Conference in June. It\u2019s still in developer beta, but if everything goes according to plan, the first public beta, when many more people will try it out, should land any day now. Here\u2019s what\u2019s coming and when. And there\u2019s now a new report from Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman to add to the conviction that the public beta is almost here.<\/p>\n

The story so far is that the first developer beta of iOS 27 which, like other developer betas is available to all, for free (details here), was released on Monday, June 8. That was the same day as the WWDC keynote. <\/p>\n

The second beta landed on Monday, June 22, and the third on Monday, July 6. Talk about regular as clockwork. Every two weeks, on the dot. Here\u2019s where it gets interesting. <\/p>\n

In 2022, 2023 and 2024, Apple released the first public beta exactly a week after dev beta 3. Actually, in 2022, the public beta was just five days after the developer beta.<\/p>\n

The 2025 iOS Schedule<\/p>\n

However, something different happened last year: it was after the fourth developer beta (released on July 22, 2025) that the first public beta appeared, on July 24. It looked like Apple was taking its time with the all-new Liquid Glass design change. <\/p>\n

All of which says that unless this year is a repeat of the 2025 schedule, there\u2019s a strong chance that the iOS 27 first public beta will land on Monday, July 13 or Tuesday, July 14. <\/p>\n

I think that\u2019s the timetable Apple is following, because numerous sources have praised the software, including Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/a>, who reported he\u2019d been using the new Apple software. Since the first versions were released at WWDC, and in terms of bugs, they\u2019ve been pretty solid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, July 12, in his latest Power On newsletter<\/a>, Gurman went further in describing the public beta and predicting its arrival. \u201cThe first public betas are coming this week, I\u2019m told,\u201d he reported.<\/p>\n

He also said that he has run all three beta versions of the next operating system, that is for iPhone, iPad and Mac. He again praised the solidity of the developer beta releases. \u201cAs of now, I\u2019m not seeing any noticeable quirks and these updates \u2014 particularly iOS, iPadOS and macOS \u2014 feel quite a bit snappier and more reliable than their predecessors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, he also described them as \u201cSnow Leopard-like updates, meaning they\u2019re more about making software run more smoothly and reliably. There\u2019s not much new here other than the Siri and other artificial intelligence features,\u201d he went on.<\/p>\n

He said that those into these AI updates, such as the new Siri AI, should love the new operating systems, but also pointed out that they\u2019re not going to be available in the European Union just yet. I think there\u2019s a lot coming, as you can read below, but Gurman felt that beyond AI changes, \u201cthere\u2019s not a ton to look forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n

iOS 27 Public Beta: Should You Upgrade?<\/p>\n

Solid or not, this is still beta software. I\u2019d avoid installing it on a critical device such as one you use every day. There will be some bugs and if they affect the particular app you need right now, it will be inconvenient. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s In The iOS 27 Public Beta?<\/p>\n

Assuming it is largely the same as the third dev beta, which is a reasonable thing to imagine, the first public beta will have a lot in it. Top of the list is Siri AI, a smarter version of the personal assistant, which now comes with its own Siri app. Note that you may have to sign up to a waitlist for Siri AI. <\/p>\n

There are new child safety features with Screen Time allowing parents to see the apps and websites children are using, with customizable schedules and granular controls. <\/p>\n

Apple has added AI photo editing tools which can extend images, for instance, organized tabs in Safari, upgraded Image Playground, more accessible Shortcuts and much more. <\/p>\n
