iOS 27 beta: your questions, answered

Is the iOS 27 beta free?

Yes. Both the developer beta and the public beta are free. Since 2023 any Apple Account can turn on developer betas — sign in once in the Apple Developer app, or enroll at beta.apple.com for the public beta. There is no profile to download and nothing to pay.

What is the latest iOS 27 beta?

The newest build is iOS 27.2 beta 4 (24B5110a), released Oct 13, 2026. The current public release is iOS 27.0.1 (24A446). The release history above lists every build since WWDC 26.

Which iPhones can run iOS 27?

Every iPhone that ran iOS 26 — from the iPhone 11 Pro Max up to the newest models, including iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation). Apple Intelligence features need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. See the full compatibility list.

How do I install the iOS 27 beta?

Back up your iPhone, sign in to the Apple Developer app (or enroll at beta.apple.com), then open Settings → General → Software Update → Beta Updates and choose iOS 27. Our step-by-step install guide walks through every screen.

Where can I download the iOS 27 IPSW?

Use the IPSW download center: pick your device and you get every iOS 27 beta, RC and public release file, linked straight to Apple's servers, with its signing status and SHA-256 checksum.

Can I go back to iOS 26 after installing the beta?

Yes, while Apple still signs an iOS 26 build. Right now that is iOS 26.6.1 RC (23G82) for supported iPhones. Restore it from a computer, then restore the backup you made before installing the beta. Full downgrade guide.

Is it safe to install the iOS 27 beta on my main iPhone?

Later betas are usually stable for everyday use, but banking, work and car apps are the usual casualties. Make an archived backup first so you can always go back, and avoid the beta on a phone you can't afford to troubleshoot.

How do I stop getting iOS 27 betas?

Go to Settings → General → Software Update → Beta Updates and choose Off. Your iPhone stays on its current build and moves to the next public release once Apple ships one with a higher version number.
