iOS 27 Announced: How to Install the Beta

[MacRumors]

Apple has announced iOS 27, with key new features including "Siri AI" and a Siri app, a slider to adjust the appearance of Liquid Glass, expanded child safety features, faster performance, "tons of refinements" for improved reliability, and more.

Anyone with an Apple Developer account is able to install the iOS 27 developer beta for free, with Apple Developer Program membership for $99 per year no longer required in recent years. After registering, restart your iPhone and open the Settings app. Next, tap on General → Software Update → Beta Updates and select the iOS 27 Developer Beta option. From there, you can install the beta on your iPhone.

Apple said the first iOS 27 public beta will follow in July.

To install a public beta, first sign up at beta.apple.com. After enrolling, restart your iPhone and open the Settings app. Next, tap on General → Software Update → Beta Updates and select the iOS 27 Public Beta once it is available.

Keep in mind that the revamped version of Siri — aka "Siri AI" — has a waitlist.

iOS beta versions can have bugs and performance issues. Backing up your iPhone before installing beta software is highly recommended.

Can anyone who has installed the beta confirm that there still is an on/off toggle for Apple Intelligence? or Siri AI?

I have it on my iPad mini. So far so good and feels a lot more stable than a normal dev beta 1.

There is still an option to turn Siri off.

I did the beta last time to get access to the liquid glass stuff app dev. It was horrible. Imma pass this time.

I'm going to pass on the Dev beta this year for iOS and iPadOS. But anxious to hear how it goes for others. I did download the TVOS beta. No big noticeable changes overall. Definitely a couple of minor bugs and a massive improvement to the podcast app.

On my iPad Pro, I saw the ability to turn off Siri, but not intelligence

It’s working well on my iPhone 11, 13 Pro, and M1 iPad Pro.
Wi-Fi signal is fine.
The advanced photo editing on the iPad, including changing perspective is cool.

Thanks.
Since "Siri AI" and also Apple Intelligence were the key new features, maybe they ditched the toggle as they want that particular feedback, but if it remains that way, I will have to re-think my typical upgrade pattern

Has to be one of the most boring WWDC events in a long while. I actually fell asleep with it playing and they were still talking about AI stuff i have no interest in.

Amazing that the iPhone 11 is still supported. That's an almost 8 years old device

Now you can adjust the settings on your glass, so you don't have to panic anymore. 😁

And is working better on this beta than it did on 26. It’s smoother… Less stuttering.

A few apps that I can confirm work:
Chase Bank, Kaiser Permanente, Land Rover Remote , Uber, and Lyft.
