Apple released beta 3 of iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS 27.2 two weeks after beta 2, with new iOS and macOS builds alongside. The Health changes can be tested now, while Apple has not said what tvOS and visionOS add, and those changes may wait on rumored hardware.

Business Insider's reviewer gave Meta's new agent his inbox, his credit cards and his Apple Health data. Two of the six tasks finished as asked, and the failures landed on other companies' sign-in and checkout screens.

Apple went straight to a 27.2 developer beta with no 27.1 test build, and MacRumors attributes the jump to keeping iPhone Duo code hidden. Inside, the new Health app calculates a Health Age from camera assessments.

Health and fitness teams can install the redesign this week, and the Apple Intelligence advice the rebuild is built around is missing from the beta, so what they can measure is Apple's layout and its metric views.
Reality
The redesigned Health app takes a heart rate reading every five seconds off the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, turns it into readiness and Health Age scores, and sells the bloodwork that fills the gap for $119.
Reality
The Series 12 samples heart rate every five seconds and HRV far more often, but the features Apple leads with are judgments built on that data: a readiness score, and a Health Age that grades you against your own age.
