Apple has released iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 beta 4 for iPhone and iPad, and those testing it out can download it right now.
Developer Beta 4 of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 Now Available for Download with New Changes and Fixes for iPhone and iPad Devices
It’s been a while since Apple released a new beta of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27, and developer beta 3 has been around for around two weeks at this point. Not only that, Apple released the first public beta of the software last week as well.
Today, Apple is taking another step forward with the release of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 beta 4, and those who have been testing out any older beta of the software can download it right away.
As ever, the new developer beta of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 are available for download over the air, and you can installing it by following these steps:
- Make sure your iPhone and iPad have more than 50% battery remaining.
- Connect to a stable Wi-Fi network.
- Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update.
- When you see the new beta 4, tap on the Update Now button.
The fourth beta of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 has the following build number: 24A5390f
Once the installation is complete, you can start using your device normally. However, in certain cases the first few hours may feel slow and you may experience rapid battery drain. That is to be expected whenever you install any new software update.
With every new update, Apple pushes out new changes to the software, improves stability, and enhances performance. If there’s anything like that in this update, I will definitely talk about it in a new blog post. Until then, make sure your device is fully updated.
The second public beta of iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 should become available for download either later today, or later this week with the same changes as the developer beta. In fact, that’s one of the reasons why you may want to prefer installing the developer beta, since it gets seeded ahead of the public beta.
However, this isn’t always a good thing. If there’s a major bug in the new beta, public beta users will get to know about it ahead of time, allowing them to avoid the new update entirely until necessary fixes are pushed out. In other words, stick with the public beta if you want to keep things as stable as possible on iPhone and iPad.
