For international users, the expected rollout time varies by time zone. Here are some of the key times for the update's availability:
- Australia (Western) - 1:00 a.m. AWST (Tuesday)
- Canada (Pacific) - 10:00 a.m. PDT

Users are advised to ensure their devices are fully charged before initiating the over-the-air update via Wi-Fi. To check for the update, go to Settings ➝ General ➝ Software Update. Given the high demand during initial rollouts, users might experience slower download speeds. It may be wise to wait a day or two to avoid potential congestion on Apple's servers.
iOS 27 will support iPhone models starting from iPhone 11 and newer. Apple previously noted that many significant features were highlighted at its events prior to the update's release.
