Apple has released the first public beta of iOS 27.2, following two developer betas, bringing the redesigned Health app first shown at the iPhone 18 Pro event to public testers. The update also enables scheduling and paying for lab tests through Quest Diagnostics directly in the Health app, with a listed price of $119. Other changes carried over from the developer beta include dual capture in Group FaceTime, expanded Siri language support, and interface tweaks to Podcasts and Apple Music.

Apple says the full public release is expected in late 2026, with beta feedback shaping the final version.
