Summary
Aug. 3 is Apple’s expected release date for iOS 27 Beta 5, the next test build ahead of a planned public rollout on Sept. 14.
Beta 5 centers on usability upgrades, led by Wi-Fi Connectivity Assist, which switches to cellular when wireless signals weaken, plus battery and system tuning.
Camera changes add ProRes Log recording and expanded ProRAW controls, while the Apple TV app can auto-download the next 2 episodes for offline viewing and delete watched content.
Geekbench 6 scores of 3,834 single-core and 9,985 multi-core point to faster performance, as Apple also tweaks app icons, Spotlight-Siri integration and the Preview app’s looping tool.
Apple is expected to keep issuing weekly betas from Beta 6, with a Release Candidate due in early September before the wider iOS 27 launch.
