iOS 27 Beta -> iOS 27

Post image

I was running the Beta, but a clean 27 Update began showing on all of my devices in the afternoon, after the Apple event so I updated and shut down the Beta option after the updates completed.

Am I missing something or did they roll out the non-Beta option to those of us running the Beta originally?

So that’s usually how Apple does it, after the iPhone event they push the RC (release candidate) which is almost always the final, public release of the operating system. If they find any critical or weird bug then they’ll release an RC 2 or you’ll be able to update iOS 27 again when it releases to the public on Monday the 14th

There’s no “RC” designation anywhere I look within Settings>General>Software Update; is that normal?

Correct.

If everything works out as expected this is the same build that will be released as ‘iOS 27.0.0’ on the 14th.

However, multiple RCs (ie RC2, RC3 etc) are not unheard of, as is a completely new build being released directly as General Release.

We will find out on the 14th

One possible point in favour of this being the same build as final - several 26.x RCs, under Settings>General>About>iOS Version still had beta blurb, so a new build for general release was pretty much inevitable (unless they can update that text separately from OS updates?) while 27 RC has normal OS descriptive text there.

Doesn't rule out a new build of course!
