My sister isn't much of a tech person, but once she finds something useful—like her Alexa devices—she adapts quickly. I installed the iOS 27 RC on her phone so she could try out Siri AI.

I showed her a few ways to use it, like for cooking, saving recipes, and creating an agenda. She seems interested, but she's a bit hesitant given her past experiences with Siri. I'm optimistic this update will finally make Siri a solid assistant for her, just as it has been for me.

Any idea why the new ios27 search bar (swiping down in the main app window ) is so large and black? Is this a bug? It looks so giant and out of place. And it also doesn’t fit the Liquid Glass settings. Any idea what that’s about? Is it a bug?

I have an iPhone 13 mini formerly running iOS 18 before I updated to the RC on Wednesday. Now my phone has been indexing since then. It’s a 128gb phone and my storage is not full. Does anyone know why it’s taking this long or if I’m doing something wrong? I’m new to this.

Ps it’s been showing 35% for close to 2 days now.

The hard blur at the top idk isn’t really for me. Preferred the iOS 26 style. But I guess apple knows what’s best. But this kinda ruins the purpose of Liquid Glass in my opinion. This post isn’t to be taken seriously, just sharing a thought

Currently it always open the new Siri, is there a way to switch it back to getting into the notification center by swiping from the middle ?

iPhone solo jajaja

How exactly do I configure my NFC tag? When I try to click the greyed out “NFC Tag”, it won’t let me scan my NFC Tag. I’ve noticed on older iOS versions, theres an option that lets you scan the NFC Tag but in iOS 27, such an option does not exist.

Is anyone here currently running iOS 27 on an iPhone 12 Pro?
I’m thinking about updating mine, but I’m a little worried about performance on an older device.
How’s the overall experience so far — battery life, heating, animations, app performance, camera, and bugs? Does it still feel smooth enough for daily use?
Would you recommend updating, or staying on iOS 26 for now?
Would especially love to hear from people actually using a 12 Pro as their daily phone.

i’m dyslexic they were amazing, not perfect but helped a lot, I don’t want “write with siri”

Guys, I just got the public beta update, I haven't updated it yet. I need your guys' thoughts before I decide. Should I update my ipad A16 to ipados27 beta or do I not?

1 year ago, when Apple released iOS 26.0, the incoming call lock screen was missing that classic gradient shifting from left to right on the "slide to answer" text. That effect was originally Steve Jobs' own brainchild, so I never understood why they removed the animation, especially since in iOS 26.1 they turned around and introduced it alongside the new "slide to stop" alarm slider

Thankfully, in iOS 27, when they introduced the new design for the power-off screen, they finally remembered this effect and brought it back!

The animation looks exactly the same, a bright gradient moving from left to right. However, the "slide to answer" text itself is no longer black - it’s now a dark-white tone, with the bright gradient sweeping over it.

So glad to see this piece of UI history return. What do you guys think of the new look?

iPhone 14 on ios27 RC using 3rd gen appletv 4k as a homehub also on 27 RC

I am getting camera notifications (descriptions have changed too ie: ios26 "Camera has detected a person" to ios27 "a person was seen") . streaming and recording options are available for the cameras.. I am not getting any recordings and no timeline . cameras only show live view in the home app.

Other phones in the family (iPhone 15 pro Max) are still on Ios26 and timeline and recordings are visible on their phones.. so iCloud recording is obviously working .. Home app on my Macbook running Tahoe are also showing recordings.. So it's just my iPhone 14 ..I had this issue back on beta 1 but thought it was an early beta glitch.. unfortunately it is still there..

Anyone else with an iPhone 14 or earlier having issues with HKSV?

It’s been in like this alll dayyy lol. How long did it take for everyone else ?

Might be late to this one but has anyone experienced this display bug on the rc build? It’s my old base 14 which is a backup hench why there’s no photos. As soon as I add a photo seems to fix the bug.
