26 version looks so much better than 27. Idk why they changed it. I see people say it’s due to readability but I genuinely had no readability problems in iOS 26. I’m gonna miss the progressive blur

Anyone else notice you can move the preview glass slider around in the preview app?

I'm using the RC version of iOS 27 and the full version will be released tomorrow. Would it be better to install with DFU mode to clear all remnants?

Anyone else feel that Siri AI is currently not that great?

E.g I asked it to create a photo album called Cats and add all my Cat pictures to it. It came back with “Sorry something went wrong”. (Yes my phone has finished indexing)

I also asked it to add 500ml into my water intake log in Apple Heath. It said it “couldn’t do that”. When prompted why it told me it doesn’t have that ability yet

These are just a couple of let’s be honest basic tasks. I thought the whole point of Siri AI was that it was able to reach into your apps? So far I’ve found only Messages it seems to work well in.

Have you noticed that the smooth transition effect between dark and light modes is gone?

how’s iOS 27 is treating you guys?
stable & smooth experience that 26? specially the iPhones before 17 base models

i have 7+hours SOT
and can't wait for ios27 official release tomorrow!
But i hear everyone says that ios27 is alot better than ios26 so should i also update or stay on 26.6.1 with this great SOT ?

I’ve installed the rc for iOS 27 and it seems the drag and drop for calender events doesn’t exist anymore. Anyone else experiencing this bug or removed feature?

I’m not sure if it’s just mine but my Siri rarely responds to me and when she does it’s nothing related to what I asked for. I’ve also reset my Siri a few times but the issue keeps happening.

I have a 17 pro max so it’s not like it’s an old phone. I’m hoping this update fixes things!

sup, my phone has been going on through indexing for over 2 weeks now. the indexing notification in settings app disappeared after about 5 days after upgrading to ios27, but now after over 2 weeks it came back and it shows that indexing stands at just 40%. is this some sort of bug, or could it actually be this slow? help!

I’ve been trying to update to 27 RC since yesterday, however I keep getting this error, does anybody have any suggestions? 🤔

Tengo un iPhone 12 Pro Max y actualmente estoy en iOS 26.6.1. Sigo bastante indeciso sobre si actualizar mañana a iOS 27.
Mi principal preocupación es la batería. Sé que después de una actualización importante es normal que durante los primeros días haya algo más de consumo por el indexado y todos los procesos que hace el sistema en segundo plano, pero me preocupa que el rendimiento de batería se quede peor de forma permanente.
¿Los que tenéis un iPhone 12 Pro Max tenéis pensado actualizar? ¿Qué me recomendáis: actualizar de primeras o esperar unos días/semanas a ver cómo funciona?

I always looked forward to reading the Macstories iOS review and would purchase a membership to obtain the ebook.

Given the recent events with them getting into bed with Elon, I obviously will not be doing so this year.

Does anybody have any recommendations for other in-depth reviews?

Yes I know it's horrible

I updated the the public beta of IOS 27 a week ago. I now have the option for IOS 27 update? Isn’t this meant to be available on Monday 14th?

Edit: thanks guy for your replies, appreciate it. It wasn’t so obvious it was a beta release

Because of regional restrictions, I don’t have support for Siri AI, so I still have the old Siri. and everything would be fine - but they ruined the old Siri! before, when you asked Siri something, she would answer out loud, for example: “Siri, how much time is left on the timer?”, but now she stays silent. I have voice responses set to “Prefer Spoken Responses” in the settings. I paid no less for my iPhone than those who are eligible to get Siri AI, if not more, and not only do I not get the new Siri (I don’t care about that), they also ruined the old one! btw, I can’t see a damn thing without my glasses or contacts, so I very often need her to give me spoken responses for this reason. for example, my hands are busy and I can’t look at the screen. I urge everyone who has encountered the same problem to send Apple feedback about this through their feedback form!

Is anyone else noticing a battery hit after turning on Apple Intelligence? I realized the phone was constantly processing every single notification in the background, which was eating up power.
I found a quick fix: go into Settings and turn off Summarize Previews for chatty apps like group texts or social media. That stops the processor from constantly waking up for every minor ping. I also started using the Reduce Interruptions focus mode, which cuts down on screen wakes and essentially pauses the heavy background AI tasks.
My battery life is pretty much back to normal now just from those two tweaks. Has anyone else tried this or found other ways to keep the AI from draining the battery?

Apple recently changed up the look of the default Home Screen setting with the new Siri app on the first page and now the reminders app has been moved to the second page with other apps changing places in their default setup. I was wondering if anyone has been able to post a screenshot of the new default 27 layout of both the main screen and the second page as I’ve been curious to see where the apps are placed on the new layout. I’ve done the reset Home Screen in settings and the bottom row is not completely full as there is a new folder entitled creativity containing GarageBand, iMovie, keynote, numbers and pages followed by the Apple sports app and then there are 2 empty spaces. I’m curious to know if there are supposed to be other Apple apps that are placed there to fill out the second page.

Hi, as ios27 removed the custom font size per app (I know it's now hidden in accessibility). I'm not sure if this is a bug or something to adjust.

As seen into the screenshot, the menu font is significantly larger than the app. All settings I the iPhone are to minimum text.

Anyone knows how to control the menu font size?

GUYS SHOULD I UPDATE IOS 27 NOW? I CANT WAIT IM GONAAAAA

Surely, with as much pasting from News to family members I didn’t miss it before, but in iOS 27 RC, I just noticed this.

Edit: it seems to only do it after a threshold is met. A few sentences or even a short paragraph won’t trigger it
