Developers can download the new beta now.<\/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.

You should expect bugs, battery life differences, app compatibility challenges, and other rough edges until Apple gets closer to the fall release.<\/p>\n<p>iOS 27 beta 5: What\u2019s new?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some changes we\u2019ve found in iOS 27 beta 5 so far.<\/p>\n<p>Updated <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/08\/10\/ios-27-beta-5-adds-new-app-icons-for-siri-safari-and-more\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Safari, Siri, Remote, and Preview app icons<\/a>.

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>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple will continue beta testing iOS 27 throughout August.
