Everything New in iOS 27.2 Beta 1
Apple has released the first beta of iOS 27.2, featuring a redesigned Health app, new Siri AI language support, and expanded Apple TV profile capabilities. The update also introduces anniversary alerts for Apple Intelligence and new customization themes for CarPlay Ultra.
Why it matters
These updates reflect Apple's ongoing integration of AI and health-tracking features into its ecosystem, directly impacting user experience for millions of iPhone and CarPlay users.
Apple surprised us with the first beta of iOS 27.2 today instead of releasing an iOS 27.1 beta. Apple likely went straight to iOS 27.2 to keep iPhone Duo code under wraps for now, since we already know the iPhone Duo will ship with iOS 27.1 when it comes out in October.
This beta includes Apple's revamped Health app, new languages for Siri AI, and a handful of other useful tweaks.
The iOS 27.2 beta includes the redesigned Health app Apple showed off at its September iPhone event. The new app is organized into three main tabs: Insights, Longevity, and Browse.
Insights includes your most recent and relevant health info, such as vitals, sleep score, heart rate, and Activity Rings. Longevity shows your health data over time, offering up a Health Age calculated from activity level, VO2 max, sleep time, and other metrics.
