Apple Releases iOS 27 Beta 3 and iPadOS 27 Beta 3 to Developers [Download]

Apple has released the third betas of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 to developers for testing.



The new builds carry version number 24A5380h and arrive exactly two weeks after the company pushed out the second round of betas.


iOS 27 brings one of the biggest updates to the iPhone experience in years, centered around Apple's new Siri AI. Siri now functions as a conversational AI assistant capable of pulling personal context from apps like Mail and Messages while maintaining onscreen awareness to answer questions about active content. Apple has also added a dedicated Siri app for chat history, a systemwide Write with Siri generation tool, and integrated Visual Intelligence into a new Siri mode within the Camera app. Apple Intelligence also expands to apps including Photos, Safari, Shortcuts, Wallet, and Passwords, bringing new AI-powered tools throughout the system.

Beyond artificial intelligence, Apple is refining the system's visuals and underlying performance. Users can now adjust the transparency of the Liquid Glass interface using a new slider to improve readability. Under the hood, an updated CPU scheduler helps apps launch faster, speeds up AirDrop transfers, improves keyboard responsiveness, and makes transitions between Wi-Fi and cellular networks smoother.

Registered developers can download the new firmware over the air by navigating to Settings > General > Software Update and ensuring the Developer Beta option is selected.
