Apple has unveiled the first iOS 27.2 developer beta for iPhone. This update came after the release of iOS 27 on September 14, and it skips over the iOS 27.1 version, which Apple specifically designed for the iPhone Duo display. The new beta is a substantial 22GB update. Apple has explained that the iOS 27.1 Software Development Kit (SDK) will enable developers to make the most of the iPhone Duo's display capabilities.
However, the company is currently holding back any iPhone Duo-specific code until closer to the hardware's release in October. Developers are still required to prepare their apps for the new device, with the necessary tools anticipated to be available by the end of September. Alongside this, Apple has announced other improvements for all iPhones, such as a redesigned Apple Health app and expanded Siri AI support.
The new AI assistant is set to roll out in English with additional language support from French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish in October. As developers prepare to test their applications on this beta, 9to5Mac will provide a detailed analysis of the new features and changes in a separate roundup.
