Apple is continuing to tweak iOS 27<\/a> ahead of its September launch, and the fourth developer beta is available as of today. There are fewer changes than in prior betas, but Apple is still adding new features.<\/p>\n

\"iOS<\/p>\n

TV App<\/p>\n

In the Settings section of the Apple TV<\/a> app, there’s a new Automatic Downloads toggle. Turning it on will automatically download the next two episodes of shows you start in Continue Watching. They’ll be deleted when you finish the episodes.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Photos<\/p>\n

There is a “Zoom Photos<\/a> to Fill” toggle in the \u200cPhotos\u200c section of the Settings app. It slightly zooms photos that nearly match the screen’s aspect ratio, and it is turned on by default.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Wallpaper<\/p>\n

Apple has removed the wallpaper feature that it added in the Notification Center in beta 3. When swiping, you would see a cutout of the subject of your wallpaper on the Home Screen<\/a>, but that’s no longer available.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Siri Voices<\/p>\n

The Siri<\/a> Voice selection interface has changed. On devices without the option to set a customizable voice, it has the custom voice look with voices and accents to select. On devices with custom \u200cSiri\u200c selections, there are more voices options, which Apple says are coming soon.<\/p>\n

\"ios
The customizable voice for \u200cSiri\u200c is limited to the iPhone 17 Pro<\/a>, \u200ciPhone 17 Pro\u200c Max, and iPhone Air<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n

Siri Settings<\/p>\n

In the \u200cSiri\u200c section of the Settings app, there’s a new option to adjust the length of previews in the \u200cSiri\u200c app. You can choose up to five lines, or none.<\/p>\n

\"ios
In Accessibility, there’s a new “Always Show Request” toggle that shows a transcription of what you say to \u200cSiri\u200c on the screen.<\/p>\n

Siri Search or Ask<\/p>\n

When you swipe down to get to the \u200cSiri\u200c Search or Ask interface, there’s now a splash screen that explains it.<\/p>\n

ProRes Log Format<\/p>\n

In the Camera section of the Settings app, there’s an option to choose a ProRes log format if you toggle Apple ProRes on. You can tap on ProRes Log Video Encoding and select Log or Log 2.<\/p>\n

\"ios
Log 2 is the latest format and retains more information in the file for additional flexibility when editing color and making adjustments after the video is captured.<\/p>\n

Wi-Fi Assist<\/p>\n

There’s an option to enable or disable Connectivity Assist for each Wi-Fi network, regardless of whether the Connectivity Assist master toggle is on.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

AirPods<\/p>\n

Apple changed the look of AirPods options in Control Center, including adding more options for Adaptive mode.<\/p>\n

\"ios<\/p>\n

Dual Battery iPhone References<\/p>\n

Code in the fourth beta of \u200ciOS 27\u200c references an iPhone with two batteries<\/a>, with strings like “The batteries in this iPhone are performing as expected.”<\/p>\n

\"Foldable<\/p>\n

It may hint at the foldable iPhone Ultra<\/a>, which is expected to have a dual-battery design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple is continuing to tweak iOS 27 ahead of its September launch, and the fourth developer beta is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1101663,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7],"tags":[1123,104799,53,16,15],"class_list":["post-1101662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-featured","tag-ios-27","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116955420890301370","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1101662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1101662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1101662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1101663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1101662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1101662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1101662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
