The next major iPhone software version is iOS 27, and it’s already here in developer beta—but here’s when the public beta and full public launches will happen.
iOS 27 is the next major software release for iPhone, and its full unveiling just happened at WWDC.
The first iOS 27 developer beta also arrived today.
Apple says the first public beta for iOS 27 will debut in July. So if you don’t want to risk trying the developer version of iOS 27, the public beta won’t require too long of a wait.
Following a summer of beta testing, Apple always ships its major new iOS releases in September to all users.
Thus, iOS 27’s release date is expected for September, likely mid-month.
Here are dates for Apple’s last few years of iOS releases:
Based on this pattern, it’s expected that iOS 27 will launch on or around Monday, September 14.
The official date is often revealed at Apple’s annual iPhone event, which usually happens the week prior.
iOS 27 is compatible with all the same iPhone models supported by iOS 26, and you can read our full coverage on the update here.
