Apple releases iOS 27.2, here's what's new
Key Points:
- Apple has released iOS 27.2 for iPhone, introducing a redesigned Apple Music app, expanded Siri AI language support, updates to Messages, Podcasts, and Apple TV, and Apple Pencil support for iPhone Duo.
- Siri AI now recalls past conversations, accesses more data sources including photos and voicemails, supports new languages (French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish), and offers granular text selection; it is unavailable in the EU and mainland China.
- Messages features Suggested Actions for contextual shortcuts, Podcasts separates new and in-progress episodes, and Apple TV introduces individual profiles for personalized recommendations on iPhone.
- The Home app adds new smart lock controls for automatic locking and alerts, while HomePod gains Lock Controls to prevent unintended audio playback without disabling essential touch functions.
- Apple Pencil support for iPhone Duo is now available but limited to Apple Pencil (USB-C) models; the redesigned Health app was removed from this release and is expected later in the year.
