Release notes

What changed

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

Release identity

iPadOS 27 Beta 3 appeared on 2026-07-06. Apple associates build 24A5380h with the seed; the identifier is scoped to iPadOS 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 iPadOS 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]
