The iOS 27 public beta is live. Apple released it on July 14, 2026, and for the first time anyone can test the headline feature, a complete rebuild of Siri, without a developer account.

Planning a trip shouldn’t feel like a second job. With the latest Gemini update on iPhone, you can ask in plain language (no more @commands). Gemini will quietly use Google Maps for places and routes and YouTube for video previews. Link your apps once, then say what you need. A step-free walking loop, cafés that […]
