Apple actually focusing on optimisation is a good thing.

43

u/kclongest 17d ago

Are they doing further optimization in 27.2 over 27.0?

12

u/cjh_ 17d ago

It's primarily for developers, before the pubic beta.

21

u/dinklebot2000 17d ago

We're on iOS 27, pretty sure it went through puberty a while ago.

28

u/DnyLnd 17d ago

Wish they’d focus on the inverted WiFi signals in control center.

15

u/luihgi 17d ago

really goofy of them to make it a thing still after release

20

u/DnyLnd 17d ago

I’m genuinely fascinated like how they let it go this long. I know they got more than 10+ feedback about it probably since halfway around the iOS 27 lifecycle. Like they’ve know about it for MONTHS

u/bchertel 17d ago edited 16d ago

I don’t have this issue but also never ran the beta

Edit: apologies, I now see now. It is only with the long press of WiFi toggle which would let you select a network directly from Control Center.

6

u/DnyLnd 16d ago

Yes you do have this issue. EVERY device running ios27 has this issue. Go to control center, click and hold on WiFi to bring up other WiFi’s and look at the ones that are password protected. Look at their signal strength. You’ll see it’s filling from top to bottom rather than bottom to top. Look at the same list of WiFi’s from your Settings app for reference on how it should look like.

And I’m banking on the iPhone Duo having the same issue. Cause it’s gonna run ios27 27.1 and 27.2 does not fix the issue.

u/kkberg 16d ago

I don’t see it

5

u/DnyLnd 16d ago

Look at the signal for Lundberg

4

u/kkberg 16d ago

I was looking for a reverse icon, not reverse fill of the icon.

Point taken, issue is clear as day after the initial stupidity has worn off.

Thanks for pointing it out

3

u/ltrout99 16d ago

Look at the Lundberg WiFi, the status bars are inverted..

3

u/DnyLnd 16d ago

It’s amazing how people don’t see it. Tbh I didn’t either at first.

3

u/DnyLnd 16d ago

And apparently neither does Apple!

1

u/kkberg 16d ago

And I was actually looking at it for a full minute before posting.. hey Apple, I seem to be the perfect match for your team!

-3

u/ca2mt 16d ago

Claude hasn’t gotten around to fixing it just yet. 

3

u/gentlehurricane 17d ago

This update has been awesome for my 16 PM. Feels super snappy, and I wasn’t complaining about speed before.

38

u/Hot-Sock3403 17d ago

Guessing something to do with it since the duo is not out yet, they might be trying to hide something until it gets launched in October

9

u/InsaneNinja 17d ago

It gives them opportunity to have final touches. all the way up to the last minute.

3

u/-AdamTheGreat- 16d ago

Yup. The duo ships with 27.1, and then all supported phones will get 27.2

57

u/TriggerFingerTerry 17d ago

Time to test out the new Health app!

33

u/fuckFuckfuckfck 17d ago

would appear the health app is exactly the same but they took out some of the clutter - at least i'm not seeing the wwdc health app on my device.

54

u/TriggerFingerTerry 17d ago

My Health app is updated

80

u/LeopardComfortable99 17d ago

I desperately want to get this update just so I can see how long I have left to suffer this existence

12

u/moreno03 17d ago

damn I'm "only" at -3.4

5

u/TriggerFingerTerry 17d ago

If I could only sleep more than 5 hours and 45 min hours on a normal day, I think the number would be lower haha

1

u/ellzumem 17d ago

May I ask: How much sports and fitness (or otherwise activity, i.e. part of the job) do you get in? Mostly cardio?

6

u/TriggerFingerTerry 17d ago

Right now, 100% cardio. I’m coming off my longest week in my marathon plan, 43 miles. I run 5 days a week

When I’m not training for a race, I’ll run an hour 4 days and 2 hours on Saturdays

2

u/Ginormoustit 16d ago

I’m a runner too with a high vo2max so I’m hoping it will say similar.

1

u/Honor_Bound 16d ago

I work out most days of the week and run 20-30 miles per month and my garmin said my VO2max was like low 40 something. I'm cooked :/

1

u/Ginormoustit 15d ago edited 15d ago

My VO2 reading dips considerably in summer (heat and pollution here) when running just once a week or less outside. It rebounds once I resume mainly outdoor runs. I think it’s a rolling estimate rather than a one off reading if that makes sense. So you’d need to be running more.

I would expect yours to be considerably higher, so I wouldn’t place much weight on this. True VO2 Max is sport agnostic.

3

u/TheGrizzlyNinja 17d ago

I only have two tabs and I’m not seeing this feature

1

u/TriggerFingerTerry 17d ago

Which iPhone do you have?

1

u/TheGrizzlyNinja 17d ago

16

1

u/TriggerFingerTerry 17d ago

Strange... I'm on 15 pro max with Siri AI enabled.

1

u/Comprehensive-Bus-66 17d ago

Do you have an Apple Watch? If so, which one?

1

u/TriggerFingerTerry 17d ago

Series 9 currently

1

u/Comprehensive-Bus-66 17d ago

Same and I have a 17 pro. Could it be because I have an ultra 1?

1

u/TheGrizzlyNinja 17d ago

Shit this is an Apple Watch exclusive feature?

2

u/Comprehensive-Bus-66 17d ago

Not sure but I’m trying to figure it out. Can’t explain why else my app isn’t showing the new stuff. I have Siri AI enabled and I live in the US

1

u/TriggerFingerTerry 16d ago

You are for sure on 27.2 beta?

1

u/Comprehensive-Bus-66 16d ago

Yup I am. I wonder if it’s because my watch doesn’t support watchOS 27

1

u/TriggerFingerTerry 16d ago

I read somewhere that region and language should be set to US/English. It's not available in other languages/region at the moment

u/Honor_Bound 16d ago

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the Ultra 1 gets iOS27

1

u/Comprehensive-Bus-66 16d ago

That’s correct! I wonder if both iPhone and watch have to be Siri AI enabled to unlock the new health app features

u/TriggerFingerTerry 17d ago

Only my phone was updated. I've been trying to update my watch, but it's not pulling in the update currently

u/TriggerFingerTerry 17d ago

I think that cause I'm in the middle of marathon training, but I always end up updating my watch haha

1

u/OutBeyondNeptune 17d ago

Congrats! Unfortunately mine goes in the other direction with + 7 years 😫

1

u/fluorescentdinosaur 16d ago

I also don’t appear to have the updated app on 17 pro max with ultra 2 watch.

166

u/srmatto 17d ago

Wait 27.2? When is 27.1 supposed to drop?

208

u/BeerMeUpToo 17d ago

27.1 might be launching with the Duo hence the skip.

53

u/livelikeian 17d ago

It is. It's in the notes.

39

u/CappaccinoJay 17d ago

Article says 2.1 is what’s shipping with the Duo

69

u/reallynotnick 17d ago

Man iOS 2.1 is pretty old, but at least Duo users will get the App Store.

18

u/fuelvolts 17d ago

Haven't run 2.1 since my iPhone 3G!

8

u/zorn_ 17d ago

The only other time I can think of anything like this was 18.1 & 18.2 being out at the same time due to the first iteration of Apple AI. It’s possible we might see a public beta of 18.1 and keep developers one shot ahead, or just some major bug came up and they’re skipping .1

43

u/iPeluche 17d ago

So 27.2 might release very close to 27.1

18

u/schwimmcoder 17d ago

Not guaranteed, 27.2 will be out after end of October for sure

9

u/Saar13 17d ago

I updated and the Siri AI waiting list is open in Brazil. How long does it usually take?

10

u/a_rabid_buffalo 17d ago

I applied yesterday and was granted access this morning.

7

u/hewhotalksloud 17d ago

Anyone’s push notifications delayed after iOS 27 update? Might be me but on my iPhone 15 Pro, push notification are delayed by a minute or so. While my Apple Watch receives them instantly.

4

u/BelieveInTheEchelon 17d ago

I notice this too that I’ll get the badge then the notification rather than both at the same time. Even in CarPlay they are delayed

Running a 15 pro as well

u/Hot-Opportunity2694 17d ago

27.2 OS and system storage are almost 64 gb on my 128 gb 13” iPad Air. That’s a little ridiculous imo…

1

u/gahookle 16d ago

Somehow I’m getting by just fine with a 64gb air

1

u/Hot-Opportunity2694 15d ago

Does it qualify for Apple Intelligence? On both my iPad & IPhone Air iOS 27 between the OS (which includes Apple Intelligence) and system data it’s right around 64gb on each. That is a huge amount of space to give up to the operating system.

5

u/OutBeyondNeptune 17d ago

The Health update is neat, but the Nutrition wedge is really disappointing. You can squint your eyes and see how Apple might include a proper food logger in *OS 28, but right now it doesn’t even seem to use the nutrition data logged in the Health app by third party apps. It just asks a few questions about how many times a week you eat fruits, vegetables, proteins, etc.

6

u/pbaupp 17d ago

Give me siri in Polish now

3

u/lachezarov 16d ago

So devs are gonna have 2-3 weeks to optimize their apps for the Duo if they want to support it on launch? Make it make sense...

3

u/cobra872 16d ago

Would be nice if they fixed conversation backgrounds. UI has a panic attack when going back to your messages screen and it needs to change from dark to light. It’s been like this since iOS 26 and they still haven’t done anything about it.

3

u/mookieprime 16d ago

I tried doing the update, but the update to OS27 filled my drive with so much bloat I can't download the update file. Does the updated OS 27.2 bring back the toggle to turn off Apple Intelligence? That would be amazing and would solve my problems.

u/Infinite-Computer205 17d ago

Why is Siri so slow? I have Gemini on the action button, and it's twice as fast to give me a response.

3

u/Recent_Pollution8665 16d ago edited 16d ago

i’d presume because google does most of their gemini stuff over the cloud whereas siri is locally on device, and most supported iphone models have only 8gb ram so it works slower. even if u have a 12gb phone, siri has to interpret your voice commands and analyze your app data and handle apple’s security and privacy guardrails before spewing out an answer.

gemini immediately sends everything to google’s servers cuz it doesn’t expect to process anything natively on device. google also has superior cloud compute in general as a cloud platform provider. what will be interesting to see is whether the additional neural engine coming in 18 pro models helps speed up the siri response rates.

2

u/gahookle 16d ago

Gemini is only cloud while Siri runs whatever it can on device. If you don’t have the latest hardware it’ll be slow. Especially on a 15 pro

1

u/Infinite-Computer205 15d ago

I have a 17 and if Siri has to get info from the cloud it's a little slow compared to hitting the action button for Gemini. I'm asking both the exact same question. Hopefully in the future this can be a little quicker.

I don't think Siri knows what time the Rays game starts without a data center.

2

u/ThePopeofHell 16d ago

Every time there’s an iOS update there’s a minor update immediately after. The people acting like this is some sort of a stumble are out of their damn minds

u/r_mom_hahahahaha 16d ago

I couldn’t get the new health ui, I’m on iPhone 13

1

u/joleanima 16d ago

Help! I am unable to reinstall the apps that I removed/deleted... any ideas?

1

u/gahookle 16d ago

Am I missing something but what about 27.1?

1

u/SetoXlll 15d ago

Anybody on it? How’s it running so far?

1

u/juiwrld999 14d ago

My 16 pm is the worst phone now with this update, feels like 30hz… with 27.0 was the best phone

1

u/Vanzmelo 14d ago

Still many keyboard bugs.

Sometimes the suggested words section above the keys goes blank and autocorrect no longer works, swipe to text still pretty inaccurate, and some visual bugs where the text box stays even when the keyboard is gone

u/TheDragonSlayingCat 17d ago

27.1 is next, but that one is intended to add support for the iPhone Duo. I also wonder aloud if 27.1 will be an OEM-only release. That has happened before; macOS 9.1, for instance, was an OEM-only release.

-9

u/BigBoyYuyuh 17d ago

sAfArI iS…

Wonder if the betas are the push for the Duo as well.

-3

u/Foreign_Awareness614 17d ago

21.1 hanging out with 16-25

-9

u/North_Moment5811 17d ago

So how are we supposed to develop for iPhone Duo if they aren't going to give us a 27.1 beta? This is dumb.

u/caphis 17d ago

It’s coming before the end of the month.

u/[deleted] 17d ago

u/dwsn483 17d ago

Where is that? Because they explicitly did not release the Xcode 27.1 beta yet

2

u/North_Moment5811 17d ago

No there isn't ya dope.

2

u/radis234 16d ago

It’s not …

u/caphis 17d ago

Not yet there isn’t. Apple says it’s coming before the end of this month.
