GoKawiilApple's iOS 27.2 release candidate expands Siri AI languages, adds dual-camera FaceTime
Apple released the iOS 27.2 release candidate on Oct. 19, over a month after iOS 27 launched. The build expands Siri AI beyond English into French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, adds a FaceTime feature letting users run front and rear cameras simultaneously, and introduces a new Apple Music color scheme. Apple previously said the foldable iPhone Duo will launch Oct. 23 on iOS 27.1, with other devices able to update to 27.2 afterward.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The quick rollout of Siri AI to new languages suggests Apple is moving faster than expected on multilingual promises made for the assistant. Because this is a release candidate rather than a finished build, additional features could still be added before general release, which historically follows about a week after an RC.
- iOS 27.2 RC adds Siri AI support for French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish
- New FaceTime feature lets users use front and rear cameras at once, requiring all participants on iOS 27+
- Foldable iPhone Duo is set to launch on iOS 27.1 on Oct. 23, ahead of the 27.2 public release
