iOS 27 Supported iPhones List

With iOS 27, Apple continues to support all of the same iPhone models as the previous update. The OS update is compatible with iPhone 11 and later models, along with iPhone SE (2020). Like previous years, the availability of Apple Intelligence features will be limited to iPhone 15 Pro models and later devices. Meanwhile, a handful of these enhancements are expected to be exclusive to the flagship iPhone 17 Pro models, too.

The full list of devices includes:

1. iPhone 16 Series

2. iPhone 15 Series

3. iPhone 14 Series

How to Install iOS 27 Beta 1 on an iPhone: Step-by-Step

Before installing the iOS 27 Developer Beta 1 update, iPhone users should note that these are pre-release versions of OS updates intended to test the latest features and apps for compatibility. While you may get a chance to try them out before the OS is rolled out widely, the update may contain bugs that may hamper the device's performance, battery life, or cause data loss.

Thus, Apple advises users to back up their data before installing the iOS 27 Developer Beta 1. With that out of the way, you'll need an Apple Developer account to access the update. Here's how to get it:

1. Navigate to beta.apple.com.

2. Tap the Signup button and enter your Apple ID

3. Read the Terms & Conditions and tap the Accept button if you're willing to comply.

4. Once an Apple Developer account is created, you must sign in on the iPhone with the same account to receive the beta updates.

5. Go to Settings > General > Software Update

6. Select Beta Updates and choose the Developer Beta option

When a new update is available for the iPhone, it will show on the updates page as long as the Developer Beta update option is selected. You can simply toggle the option off to stop receiving them.
