On September 1, merely a few hours after rolling out the Beta 8 updates for iOS and iPadOS 27, Apple introduced the sixth public beta iterations of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and tvOS 27, signaling the conclusion of the testing phase. Based on Apple's prior release patterns, it is anticipated that the candidate version of iOS 27 will be unveiled within a week following the September 9 event. The official version is projected to be launched in late September, coinciding with the release of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Presently, no substantial new features have been identified in the public beta versions; instead, they primarily concentrate on resolving known issues and bolstering system stability. iOS 27 will be compatible with iPhone 11 and subsequent models, encompassing the second-generation iPhone SE. Concurrently, the roster of compatible Macs for macOS 27 has also been disclosed, with models equipped with M-series chips being prioritized for visual and performance enhancements, including Liquid Glass technology.
