Apple dropped iOS 27 beta 1 right after the WWDC 2026 keynote, and yes, the new Siri AI is in there. Apple is putting the new Siri AI behind a waitlist, much like what they did with Apple Intelligence back in iOS 18.1. So even if you're a developer with the beta installed, you still have to raise your hand and get in line. With iOS 27, Apple is clearly trying to close that gap. Public beta is expected to follow in the coming weeks, with a full release likely in September 2026. Apple has released the first public beta versions of its upcoming software updates, allowing users to try iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, and watchOS 27 ahead of their official release later this year. Apple reminds users that these are beta versions and may contain bugs or affect battery life. Those interested can enroll in the Apple Beta Software Program before downloading the updates through Settings > General > Software Update on supported devices.
