## Key points

- Apple's public betas for iOS 27 and sibling OSes are now live
- Siri AI, the revamped voice assistant, headlines the update
- Full releases expected this autumn; back up before installing betas

## Summary

Apple has released public betas for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27 and macOS 27 "Golden Gate", giving users an early look at the software updates due for full release this autumn. The headline addition is Siri AI, the long-delayed AI-powered overhaul of Apple's voice assistant, which reportedly now works reliably, albeit with fairly brief responses.

Anyone wanting to try the betas can sign up via Apple's beta software programme website, then enable "Beta Updates" under Settings > General > Software Update on their device. Apple and reviewers caution that beta software can bring glitches and faster battery drain, so users are advised to back up their devices before installing and to weigh up whether testing pre-release software is worth the risk.
