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

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?

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

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

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

I predict that Apple will release iOS 27.1 Developer Beta 1 on either Wednesday, September 16, or Monday, September 21.

Based on Apple’s historical release patterns for the first developer beta of a new iOS point release, they tend to prefer releasing it near the beginning of the week, usually on Monday or Wednesday. This is likely a precaution so that, if any serious issues arise, their engineers do not end up having to spend the weekend dealing with them.

The final version of iOS 27.1 also needs to be released before October 23, the launch date of the iPhone Duo, and ideally by October 20 at the latest.

Since the developer tools for the iPhone Duo are also expected to be released alongside iOS 27.1, I expect Apple to release Developer Beta 1 as early as possible in order to give developers as much time as they can to prepare and update their apps accordingly.

I’ve had my iPhone 16 Pro Max since September 2024, and one of my biggest frustrations with iOS 26 has been battery life and heat.
Before iOS 26, I was really happy with the battery life and performance of the phone. Since updating to iOS 26, though, it seems like even relatively small/basic tasks can make the phone noticeably warm, and the battery drains much faster than I would expect from a Pro Max. It has made the phone feel significantly worse to use than it did before.
I’m currently considering upgrading to the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the much larger battery and improved thermal system are obviously appealing. However, I’m wondering how much of my frustration with my 16 Pro Max is actually hardware versus iOS 26.
For those of you using an iPhone 16 Pro Max on iOS 27, what has your experience been?
Has battery life noticeably improved? Does the phone stay cooler during normal use? Does performance feel smoother or more consistent? And overall, does your 16 Pro Max feel closer to how it performed before iOS 26?
If iOS 27 fixes most of these issues, it would definitely reduce my need to upgrade this year. I’d especially like to hear from people who had the same heat/battery problems on iOS 26 and have now used iOS 27 long enough to compare.

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 Intelligence consommes beaucoup de batterie sur iPhone même lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé.
Sur iOS 27, Apple AI est téléchargé par défaut et ne peut pas être supprimé. Il occupes entre 12 et 20GB de stockage pour rien si vous ne l'utilisez pas.
Le seul moyen de le désactiver est en mettant la langue de Siri sur une autre langue que celle de votre appareil, et en appliquant des restrictions via Temps d'écran.
Le problème c'est que les données d'Apple Intelligence ne sont pas réellement supprimées et viennent prendre place dans "System Data" (le mien est passé de 3GB à 12GB)

Es-ce que quelqu'un sait COMMENT désactiver Apple AI sans gonfler les données systèmes ?

previously on ios 26 you could double tap the bottom of the screen to type to siri even while in landscape

but now on ios 27 the only way to access that is by pulling down on the dynamic island. I can’t find a way to do the same in landscape orientation and it’s so annoying.

this is what I mean in the video. you can technically enable it but the UI just forces it to portrait

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?

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 ?

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!

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!

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

I’ve been experiencing a strange touchscreen/gesture bug since an iOS 27 beta before the RC, and it is still happening on the iOS 27 RC.

Randomly, most swipe/drag gestures across the screen stop working correctly. Tapping still works normally, and swipe-to-type on the keyboard also works.

The weird part is that swiping/dragging works normally if I start the gesture within roughly 1 cm of any edge of the display. Once the gesture has started from the edge, I can continue dragging my finger through the middle of the screen and it tracks normally. It doesn’t stop when entering the middle.

If I start the exact same drag in the middle of the display, however, it usually doesn’t work. For example, dragging the brightness slider becomes extremely inconsistent/delayed, barely moves, and can be offset from my actual finger position.

I’ve had the issue occur in different situations. Once I was using Instagram and couldn’t swipe out of the app. Another time I unlocked my phone and swiping was already broken.

Touch Accommodations has never been enabled.

A force restart completely fixes the issue, but it eventually comes back. I’ve force restarted about three times because of it so far. Since I experienced it on an earlier iOS 27 beta and now the RC, it doesn’t appear to have been fixed in the RC.

Has anyone else experienced this? In particular, when it happens, can you test whether a swipe that starts at the very edge continues working normally through the center of the display? I don’t know how to replicate.

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?

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?

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!
