  On the first day of the WWDC developer conference, Apple released the first developer beta of its new operating system. This year, that means that the first release of iOS 27 outside Cupertino came on June 8, 2026.The pattern goes like this: Apple releases developer-only betas for the first month or so, and then starts releasing the same build for both developers and public beta testers.

It’s not so much what he says, but rather when he said it.The

This is the same policy it followed when releasing the iPhone X in 2017.Citing hi

  When the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra launch this September, Apple will power them with the newest A-series chip. As in recent years, the next-generation processor will likely be split into two, with a full-performance “Pro” version and a non-Pro model made for lower-cost products. All of the products released this fall are expected to use the Pro version of the chip.We won’t know for sure what it can do until we get to test it, but we can examine the history and per
