Apple has released the Release Candidate (RC) versions of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other software following its September event today. These updates are identical to the final versions and are available to beta testers.
Apple has made the iOS 27 Release Candidate (RC) available to developers and public beta testers. This version is the one Apple will ultimately roll out to all users, provided no significant last-minute issues are found during final testing.
