Six days ago, Apple released iOS 27.2 developer beta 1, skipping over iOS 27.1 beta. Following yesterday’s developer beta 2 release, Apple has now issued the first iOS 27.2 public beta version, with the new iPhone Health app included. Apple has also turned on the ability to schedule and purchase labs through Quest Diagnostics from the new Health app in iOS 27.2 beta.
iOS 27.2 is the next release that will follow the official launch of iOS 27 from September 14. iOS 27.1 is just for iPhone Duo.
Apple has already detailed how the iOS 27.1 SDK will let developers take full advantage of the iPhone Duo display. You can see how apps will appear on iPhone Duo based on which iOS version they target here.
Apple released Xcode 27.1 beta on Friday, adding the iPhone Duo simulator and app development support for the new foldable iPhone.
