How to get Apple’s new Siri AI on your iPhone with the iOS 27 developer beta

Soon after announcing the latest version of its software, Apple has released the developer beta for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 and other related systems. The betas are primarily meant for developers to test bugs in the software before they are rolled out to the public via a beta update and eventually a stable version.

However, much like every year, eager Apple fans will install the developer beta in order to try out the newest AI features, productivity boosts and other upgrades before anyone else.

In case you are one of those people, here’s how you can try out the iOS 27 developer beta.

How to download the iOS 27 developer beta:

In order to download the iOS 27 beta you will first need to register as a Apple developer which has been free of charge for a couple of years now. All you need to do is just go to this link and register as a developer to get the latest beta build.

Once the registration is complete, you can simply go to Settings on your iPhone and follow the steps below:

• Open the Settings app and tap General.
• Select Software Update, then tap Beta Updates.
• You should now see the option to choose between the iOS 27 Public Beta and iOS 27 Developer Beta. Select Developer Beta and install the update.

Do note that downloading the first developer beta comes with risks. You could experience unusual bugs, app compatibility issues, heating problems, and reduced battery life. This is why it is generally recommended not to install the beta on your primary phone.

Apple has also confirmed that the public beta for iOS 27 will arrive in July, while the stable version will be released in September.

Will you be able to use Siri AI after installing iOS 27?

Apple said that Siri AI will be available in beta on iOS 27. However, users who install the iOS 27 developer beta will have to register for a separate waitlist in order to access the new AI-powered assistant.

Apple has not explained how long users may have to wait to gain access to the new Siri. However, the company followed a similar approach during the iOS 18 beta when it rolled out Apple Intelligence.

Which iPhones are compatible with the iOS 27 beta?

Apple has confirmed that the iOS 27 beta is available on all iPhones launched since the iPhone 11. However, Apple Intelligence features will only be supported on the iPhone 15 Pro and later devices.
