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 3 appeared on 2026-07-06. Apple associates build 24A5380h 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 3 state contains 251 entries versus 236 in Beta 2. Issue-ID and status comparison supports 12 Apple-documented additions or resolutions on this iOS route; later edits captured on July 17 are not assigned to Beta 3 v2 because the shared document still identifies itself only as Beta 3.[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]
