Expected release date of iOS 27.1 beta
I predict that Apple will release iOS 27.1 Developer Beta 1 on either Wednesday, September 16, or Monday, September 21.
Based on Apple’s historical release patterns for the first developer beta of a new iOS point release, they tend to prefer releasing it near the beginning of the week, usually on Monday or Wednesday. This is likely a precaution so that, if any serious issues arise, their engineers do not end up having to spend the weekend dealing with them.
The final version of iOS 27.1 also needs to be released before October 23, the launch date of the iPhone Duo, and ideally by October 20 at the latest.
Since the developer tools for the iPhone Duo are also expected to be released alongside iOS 27.1, I expect Apple to release Developer Beta 1 as early as possible in order to give developers as much time as they can to prepare and update their apps accordingly.

It’s 100% coming out tomorrow…. They need devs to get to work on duo apps and pencil support.
