Apple is also experimenting version 27.3, which is expected to become publicly available next month

In a new update, Apple is bringing major updates to its software development strategy while developers continue optimising applications for its iPhone Duo, with over 100,000 apps reportedly adapted for the device.
As per Bloomberg’sMark Gurman, the Cupertino-based tech giant has restructured the development timelines for iOS 28, macOS 28 and related software updates.
The company has extended the coding phase from four to six weeks while minimising the feature integration period from four weeks to just two.
The revised approach is likely to give engineers more time to develop and refine features ahead of finalising them.
Notably, the major move also reflects Apple’s broader efforts to make software development more flexible under CEO John Ternus.
Meanwhile, Apple has announced the discontinuation of its long-running Apple Support Community forums will permanently close on November 20.
The platforms have already been placed in read-only mode, preventing users from publishing new posts.
In another development, more than 100,000 applications have been optimised for the iPhone Duo, supporting its internal and external displays.
Additionally, Apple has kicked off shipping its latest MacBook Pro featuring an OLED-based display, while recent software releases include iOS 27.2.1 and tvOS 27.2.1, releasing security enhancements, bug fixes and expanded Siri AI capabilities to compatible Apple TV models.
