Summary
Apple released the sixth developer betas of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, arriving one week after beta 5 as the company keeps its weekly testing cadence.
Siri AI is the headline addition—a ChatGPT-like assistant that combines general knowledge, app data from Messages and Mail, and onscreen awareness to answer questions and find information.
Apple also expanded Apple Intelligence across Photos, Safari, Shortcuts, Wallet and Passwords, added a standalone Siri app, and made Write with Siri available systemwide.
Beta 6 further tweaks the Liquid Glass interface with a transparency slider and promises faster app launches, quicker AirDrop and keyboard response, and smoother Wi-Fi-to-cellular switching.
The update continues Apple's push to polish iOS 27 ahead of an expected public release around September 14, with recent betas also refining battery, camera and Control Center features.
