The new beta is available now for registered developers ahead of next month\u2019s expected public beta release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iOS 27 is a major iPhone update centered around Siri AI, Apple Intelligence, Liquid Glass refinements, and a long list of quality-of-life changes. Here\u2019s what we\u2019ve found so far in iOS 27 beta 2.<\/p>\n<p>iOS 27 beta 2 details<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iOS 27 beta 2 is available now for developer beta testers. The build number is 24A5370h.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can install the update by opening the Settings app, choosing General, then Software Update. From there, make sure iOS 27 Developer Beta is selected under Beta Updates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with any early beta, we do not recommend installing iOS 27 beta 2 on a primary iPhone. You should expect bugs, battery life issues, app compatibility problems, and other rough edges until Apple gets closer to the fall release.<\/p>\n<p>iOS 27 beta 2: What\u2019s new?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some changes we\u2019ve found in iOS 27 beta 2 so far.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Wallet <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/22\/apple-wallet-in-ios-27-adds-new-feature-for-tracking-your-money\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">brings Insights feature<\/a> to more regions for more cards.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Write with Siri\u2019 suggestion now populates on iPhone and iPad software keyboard, <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/22\/ios-27-beta-write-with-siri\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">replacing Writing Tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Siri AI performance feels faster for early testers.<\/p>\n<p>Siri\u2019s Expressive Voice Preview feature now lists Pace and Expressivity as \u201ccoming soon\u201d in beta 2.<\/p>\n<p>iPhone Mirroring between iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate appears more reliable after beta 1 crash issues. This includes resizing apps and automatically returning to iPhone size.<\/p>\n<p>AirPods Max 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/22\/airpods-max-2-firmware-beta-updates-now-available-with-ios-27-and-macos-27-beta-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">can now update firmware<\/a>, resolving the known issue with beta 1.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Home app <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/22\/ios-27-makes-it-easier-to-update-your-apple-tv-software\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">can now update an Apple TV 4K remotely<\/a>, just like a HomePod.<\/p>\n<p>RCS in Messages now supports inline replies and much more, <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/06\/22\/ios-27-upgrades-messages-app-with-key-new-features-for-rcs\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, iOS 27 beta 2 continues to feel much further along than most iOS developer betas at this point. That\u2019s likely because stability is a key feature of iOS 27. Still, your mileage may vary, and not every app is guaranteed to support the new system at this point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every iOS 27 feature is available on every iPhone. The update supports iPhone 11 and later, plus iPhone SE 2 and newer, while Siri AI and other Apple Intelligence features require newer hardware.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple will continue beta testing iOS 27 throughout the summer. A public beta should arrive in July, followed by the official release for everyone in September alongside the new iPhone lineup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you found anything new in iOS 27 beta 2?
