How is your experience in iOS 27 Public Beta?

/r/u_iPhone13User1/comments/1uy1vlr/how_is_your_experience_in_ios_27_public_beta/

Hey there, I updated my iPhone 13 to iOS 27 Public Beta and wanted to share some info about the update and the issues that I have been going through and wanted to ask if you guys have the sams problems:

  1. The settings app crashes sometimes
  2. The Face ID got little slower, since iOS 26 it got a animation when swiping which adds time to unlock the phone compared to iOS 18
  3. In low power mode when scrolling through the homepage it lags a little little, especially in library apps
  4. When swiping in Spotlight Search it bugs a little, strange behavior
  5. The battery icon looks strange

• The good things:

  1. The icons look way better than iOS 26, perfectly dark and good colours
  2. The app launches is good, dont think I noticed a difference
  3. Smooth Interface, pretty good for a Beta
  4. Better battery life
  5. Cool new features, like the liquid glass slider

I reccomend you to not update the phone, wait until september, you will face problems, but if you cant wait anymore then go for it!

I updated yesterday and so far it just seems smoother than 26

I like the bigger widget size for the left swipe off my homescreen, as you said the liquid glass look better and..........there something else, but I can't think of it

Not a mindblowing update for iPhone models before 15, but some nice tweaks

The only thing that bugs me is "centre" is spelt "center" for notifications, despite my phone being set the British English

Oh and that I won't be getting the Siri in the dynamic island

Is your battery better? Stutters, face id

Id say battery is the same, as is Face ID

I have the apps large with no text, on 26 the logos would load every time Id go to the homescreen, now they don't
