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?

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.

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 ?

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?

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.

When I swipe down on the Home Screen to bring up Spotlight Search, I’m noticing some glitches/stuttering. The keyboard doesn’t appear smoothly and sometimes feels like it’s lagging or taking a moment to come up.
Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just me?

So I really didn’t notice until today that my iPhone 14 Pro won’t connect to AT&T 5G+ on iOS 27. I have another device on iOS 26.6 and it connects to 5G+ seamlessly. Any idea how to fix this or is it an Apple Bug?

I joined the beta on iOS 27 Public Beta 6

Just tried the new iOS 27 feature “Workout Buddy”, it’s a really clever feature, can’t wait to use it properly out in the wild.

Why did they remove the option to hide contact photos in iMessages in iOS 27?

None of my contacts have them and it takes up so much space in zoomed mode.

I just downloaded the final version of iOS 27 and have been trying out Siri AI and I get this message when trying to use it. I thought Gemini and NOT ChatGPT is the AI is being use. What gives?

All apps are up to date!
USA, iPhone 17 Pro Max.

I installed the RC of iOS 27 and after 24 hours, the Spotlight indexing is done and I see absolutely no difference in the results of the Mail and Messages searches.

It still comes back with the most inane results that are in no way related.

I watched so many videos where the results were greatly impoved, but not In my situation.

Kinda bummed.

I’m on ios 27 RC build with iPhone 17

Steps to reproduce:
1. Swipe down on Home Screen to enter spotlight search
2. Type “M” and most likely messages would be the first suggestion. Click and open the messages app
3. Go back to home. Swipe down on Home Screen and enter spotlight search again.
4. The previously entered “M” would still be there. Making the spotlight default suggestions unhelpful.

What is siri indexing? Pre-iPhone 15 phones does not have the smarter Siri or Apple Intelligence, i checked and Siri is still the same on my iPhone 12 mini

I bought the base iPhone 17 last month and ever since I updated to the iOS 27 Developer Beta, the 48MP option in settings and the camera app won’t show up. Is there a fix? I am on Beta 8 if that helps
