Apple has released the first developer beta of iOS 27. The software includes a liquid glass interface redesign and expanded Apple Intelligence capabilities. Siri can now draw on data from messages, emails, and photos to answer questions without directing users to external search results.
Additional tools allow users to reframe photos after capture, generate images, and organize Safari tabs automatically.
All iPhones that support iOS 26 can install iOS 27.
The list includes the iPhone SE models from 2020 and 2022, the iPhone 11 series through the iPhone 17 series, and the iPhone Air. Apple Intelligence features require an iPhone 15 Pro or later model equipped with an A17 Pro or newer chip. iPad and Mac devices need an M1 chip or later to receive the corresponding updates.
The most advanced Siri functions, including varied intonations and enhanced dictation, are limited to the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air. These devices contain 12GB of RAM required for the features. A public beta of iOS 27 is expected in July.
Apple has not announced a final release date but indicated the software will launch in autumn, with Siri AI initially available only in beta form.
