Summary
Apple released second developer betas for iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27, extending WWDC-announced features ahead of the fall launch.
Write with Siri is the headline change, replacing the older AI Writing Tools prompt on iPhone and iPad with a larger keyboard prompt that collapses to a Siri icon once users start typing.
RCS messaging also gains inline replies and message reactions in Messages, further narrowing feature gaps between iPhone and Android conversations.
Other beta 2 changes include faster Siri performance, improved iPhone Mirroring in macOS Golden Gate and firmware update support for AirPods Max 2.
The release keeps Apple on track for a public beta in July and a broader rollout expected in September alongside new iPhones.
