Third developer betas for iOS 27.2, macOS 27.2 land for testing
The third developer beta round of Apple's first post-milestone updates has rolled around. Developers now have fresh builds of iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS 27.2 Golden Gate, watchOS 27.2, visionOS 27.,2 and tvOS 27.2 to try out. Normally, you would expect that the first updates will be for the 27.1 versions, as a point-1 release usually follows the milestone ones.
