Apple releases iOS 27.1, but most iPhone owners won't be able to install it
Apple released iOS 27.1 on Thursday, but the update arrived for only a single iPhone.
Dealing with the issues of iOS 27 and adding new features, Apple recently released the iOS 27.2 RC update to developers. The latest software number for the official stable version was the iOS 27.0.1 update. Now, Apple has officially released the iOS 27.1 update, but this update has arrived for only a single iPhone.
For those who do not know, Apple released the iOS 27.1 version on Thursday. However, since the update was prepared only for the foldable iPhone Duo, which goes on sale on Friday, most iPhone owners will not be able to install this version.
Still, the next step seems close. According to the source, iOS 27.2 is expected to be released by Monday. Because the RC, meaning the final version of the beta update, has been released and Apple is ready for 27.2.
iOS 27.1 Is Only for iPhone Duo
As is known, Apple released iOS 27 in September and shortly after began beta testing for iOS 27.2. Of course, this situation also brought up questions about the fate of iOS 27.1.
Information quietly spreading from Cupertino was that this version was reserved for the upcoming iPhone Duo. Now, this has been confirmed.
Although iOS 27.1 is now live, it is not a standard update for everyone. The update focuses on fixes in the software that runs the foldable device's unique features.
The device already comes with iOS 27.1. Although the version name has not changed, this is a newer build.
iOS 27.2 Is a Few Days Away
Because it is such a minor fix, it is not surprising that iOS 27.1 will be one of the shortest-lived among Apple's operating systems. iOS 27.2 is expected to be released by Monday.
The 27.2 update coming on Monday includes more comprehensive changes, such as expanded language support for Siri artificial intelligence (AI) and improved FaceTime calls.
On the other hand, iOS 27.2 will be offered to all current Apple phones, including the iPhone Duo. In other words, the update released on Thursday will be replaced by a new one in less than a week.
How Do iPhone Duo Users Install iOS 27.1?
iOS 27.1 can be installed on any iPhone Duo by opening the Settings app and following General > Software Update. Alternatively, the update can also be performed by connecting the device to a Mac (or a PC running iTunes).
