What's New in iOS — Episode 3: iOS 27 Developer Beta 2 (2026)

Episode guide

Apple shipped iOS 27 Developer Beta 2, build 24A5370h, and this update is all about making the big iOS 27 ideas feel more usable. Alex and Jordan run through the changes that matter: Write with Siri on the keyboard, RCS inline replies, Wallet Insights, Apple TV updates inside the Home app, Visual Intelligence privacy controls, Camera and HomeKit fixes, Photos RAW support, and the AirPort Utility sunset.

This is still a developer beta. If you are not testing apps, the smarter move is to wait for the public beta expected in July.
