Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Release identity

iOS 27 Beta 2 appeared on 2026-06-22. Apple associates build 24A5370h with the seed; the identifier is scoped to iOS even where another platform used the same alphanumeric build.[1]

What changed at this milestone

The preserved Beta 2 state contains 236 entries versus 203 in Beta 1. Issue-ID and status comparison supports 14 Apple-documented additions or resolutions on this iOS route; independently observed interface changes remain separately labeled corroborated or reported.[2][3]

Channel and device scope

This is a developer beta, not a public release. Apple recommends backing up before installation, reading the exact release notes, and reporting issues through Feedback Assistant.[4]

Evidence boundary

This page cites the human-readable preserved Apple page and uses the matching raw DocC capture only for issue-ID/status comparison. The structured inventory is representative for Beta 1 and delta-based for Beta 2 and Beta 3; no July 17 edit is assigned to the iPadOS revision.[5]
