Apple Releases New iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and tvOS 27 Public Betas

Apple today released the sixth public betas of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, tvOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate, allowing anyone with a compatible device to download and test the new software. The sixth betas come a week after Apple seeded the fifth betas and a few hours after the eighth developer betas.

iOS 27 Feature Cool
You can get started by signing up on Apple's beta website and then opting in to the public beta by opening up the Settings app on your device, selecting General, and choosing Software Update.

We are nearing the end of the beta testing process, and no notable new features were found in today's developer betas. We are expecting the release candidate versions of the software next week following Apple's September 9 iPhone event.

Too much betas and not enough actual releases 👏
I’ll take too many betas over “rushed it out the door to meet an arbitrary deadline” anytime 👍

I installed the iPadOS beta for the first time ever and it seems to run better and faster than iPadOS 26.6. So far, I haven't encountered any issues.

I installed macOS 27 over the weekend to my main PC to get ready for the RC releases. We're at the point where Tahoe can finally be buried as there's something to replace Sequoia.
