Summary
iOS 27 beta 4 adds automatic downloads for the next two TV episodes in Continue Watching, a Photos zoom-to-fill toggle, and new Siri settings ahead of Apple’s September release.
Siri changes are the main interface update: Apple revised voice selection, added a preview-length control of up to five lines, and introduced an Accessibility toggle that shows spoken requests on screen.
Apple also added ProRes Log 2 video encoding, per-network Connectivity Assist controls, and refreshed AirPods options in Control Center, while removing the wallpaper cutout effect introduced in beta 3.
Code in the beta references an iPhone with two batteries, adding to speculation about a foldable iPhone Ultra with a dual-battery design.
