Apple just unveiled it at its Worldwide Developers Conference, and set in motion the timetable for when it will be available in developer beta, public beta and general release. Here\u2019s all you need to know. <\/p>\n Forbes<\/span>Good News For iPhone 11 Users: Apple\u2019s Not Dropping Support In iOS 27<\/span>By David Phelan<\/span><\/small><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Earlier today, June 8, 2026, Apple revealed full details of its next generation of iPhone software at WWDC. During the conference it was announced that the first version of developer software would be made available today. <\/p>\n That\u2019s happened and developers can download it now. As usual, it\u2019s advised that if you do download it, your daily driver is not the best place for it. A secondary iPhone is better, as there will inevitably be bugs and some things don\u2019t work. <\/p>\n What\u2019s not usual is that this time Apple is encouraging users to ensure that the device has their personal data on it, to enable the context-aware features to be seen at their best. <\/p>\n One of the biggest changes in iOS 27 is the new Siri AI, but it\u2019s worth noting that this is available to developers only through a waitlist. To snag a place, go to Settings, then Siri and choose to join the New Siri waiting list. Once you\u2019ve clicked, it\u2019ll confirm that you\u2019ve joined the waiting list. It says that you\u2019ll be notified when it\u2019s available for your iPhone.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The second announcement Apple made about the new software\u2019s availability came when it said that the public beta would land in July. <\/p>\n That\u2019s the usual timetable, and routinely happens just after the third developer beta lands, in the middle of July, and this beta forms the basis of the first public beta. Last year\u2019s iOS 26 public beta came a little later and matched the fourth public beta. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n The developer and public betas will continue to appear through July and August, with the final beta, called the Release Candidate expected in early September. <\/p>\n It often appears on or around the day of the September keynote, which won\u2019t be announced for months, though my best guess is it will be on Wednesday, September 9. <\/p>\n Which means the release candidate could be then, or a day or two either side.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The exact date won\u2019t be known until the next iPhones are unveiled in September. If that unveiling happens, as I think it might, at a keynote on Wednesday, Sept. 9, then the general release is likely to be on or around Monday, Sept. 14. <\/p>\nApple iOS 27 Developer Beta: Available Now<\/h2>\n
