iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 (Golden Gate), watchOS 27, and tvOS 27 are operating systems scheduled for official release in the fall of 2026. Each OS is expected to feature Siri AI, an AI assistant incorporating Google's Gemini AI, and various features of Siri AI were highlighted at the WWDC26 keynote address held in June 2026.

To install public beta versions of each OS, you need to register on the official Apple Beta Software Program website . A developer account is not required for registration; a regular Apple account is sufficient.
For iOS, registering for the Apple Beta Software Program will add a 'Beta Update' option to the software update screen; tap it.
Tap 'iOS 27 Developer Beta,' then tap the back button in the upper left corner.
You can now update to iOS 27 Beta 3.
As mentioned above, the main feature of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 (Golden Gate), watchOS 27, and tvOS 27 is Siri AI, while other updates focus on improving existing features such as faster app launch times. Furthermore, Siri AI is expected to be available in English sometime in 2027, but the timing of Japanese language support remains unknown.
Nevertheless, the impact of Siri AI is said to be significant, and the overseas media outlet The Verge, which has been trying out the beta version of iOS 27 since June 2026, has praised it, saying, 'If you tell Siri AI what you want to do, it will perform the task without you having to open individual apps yourself,' 'Siri AI recognizes what is displayed on the screen and performs the task,' and 'Siri AI has changed the way we use our iPhones.' However, it seems that in the beta version, Siri AI only works with Apple's own apps.
