Summary
iOS 27.2 beta 3 adds Apple Books reading-interface changes including new progress bars, a redesigned three-dot menu and a standalone bookmark button in the upper-right.
The update also moves the close button to the upper-left and enlarges the back button in the lower-left, aligning Books with Apple’s broader Liquid Glass design language.
Apple appears to be tuning the app for reading ahead of the iPhone Duo launch, which the report says could make Books a bigger focus if the device gains traction.
The Books tweaks extend a wider iOS 27.2 beta cycle that already brought expanded Siri AI language support and redesigns across apps including Health, FaceTime and Apple TV.
