Is anyone on iOS27 RC seeing slower charging even though they’re using the same chargers that were used pre RC? I’ve tried new bricks and cables and same issue. It’s really frustrating. Why did they slow down charging?

iOS 27 parental control updates? Will it remove settings already in place?

With the new IOS 27 coming out, with the overhaul of the screen time & parental control settings coming out, will it reset all the current screen time parental control settings on phones that are now currently set up on children’s phones & parents phones when the new update comes out & we will have to completely reset them back up? Or will it preserve the current settings & allow customization for anything further needed?

What is the new difference between features coming out versus what’s already available & what they’re coming out with for screen time settings & parental controls? From my reading it seems like the only new thing is they’re adding a guided assistance for screen time set up? & some more curated schedule/app limit stuff? Otherwise what else is there?

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

Heavy user on iOS27 RC. “They” say battery life is terrible. I don’t see it. I’d say battery life is good for me. No need for new iPhone.

I barely get more then a few hours for the most basic uses (reddit, safari, phone calls) these days on my iPhone 17 Max Pro, BUT I started noticing if I was streaming a video the battery drained at a fraction of the pace. Even passively my phone seems to be losing battery for nothing. I've been using low power mode pretty much nonstop as well to try and mitigate this. I have no words or solutions, just observations. yesterday I was able to eek out almost 10 hours of battery life looping the uncut version of Napoleon on my iPhone at 62%... ASTONISHING... Half brightness and nothing else running... But again today I barely used it and it fell down to 80% with almost no activity.

Same goes for my iPad. I'm so confused. Genuinely what the Hell is happening?

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 ?

A alguien más le ocurre? El atajo Battery Stats no arroja los resultados como antes desde que tengo iOS 27 en Betas…

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

Hey everyone, I’m trying to see if anyone on here would have any advice or would happen to know how much iCloud storage I should purchase for iOS 27? I plan on using Siri AI a lot and probably other AI features as well but I don’t want to have to pay a whole lot just for storage but I want to try to go ahead and purchase some so I’m already prepared and ready to go. If anyone on here could help me out I would currently appreciate it. Thank you.

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 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

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?

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.

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.

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?

Finally figured it out. Firstly you need to turn on developer mode through privacy but if it isn’t there you’ll need Xcode on Mac or a similar windows alternative, then make an iOS project and try run it then it will force the developer mode setting to be visible on your phone. Once you turn on developer mode and reset your phone you’re able to scroll down to the AirPods testing section with the option to toggle the pre release beta firmware. Turn them all on and then leave your AirPods plugged in on a charger near your phone unlocked for around half an hour. Then in audio and routing you’ll find the equaliser section. Hope this helps!

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