iOS 27.3 Release Date: Expected Mid-December Launch, Beta Coming Soon
iOS 27.3 is expected to be publicly released in mid-December, with the beta possibly rolling out on November 2. Because iOS 27.1 is exclusive to the iPhone Duo, the version numbers in the iOS 27 cycle have all shifted by one, and the release cadence of 27.3 still aligns with the x.2 updates of previous years. Known new features include at least the additional Siri AI languages announced this week, as well as the return of the brand-new Health app.
