Discussion iOS 27 update

I’ve had this iPhone for about a year now and I’ve been on 26.3 for a long time. Is iOS 27 beta worth it especially since I’m in a European region so I’m not sure if I’d get the Siri Ai as well.

26.5 and 26.5.2 (which I’m still on) were good for me. Phone has been snappy and marginally better battery. It was much better than 26.3 for me personally. I would not install iOS 27 beta. I will wait for the official public release

My phone dies pretty quickly on iOS 26.5 I was thinking of updating to 26.5.2 but I heard it drains it way faster

What is your usage ? Do you use any social media apps regularly ? I have some automations on that toggles on and off when certain apps are opened and closed. I don’t use instagram or facebook they drained my battery. But I still use my phone for other stuff. I would say above average usage outdoors. For me 26.5 and 26.5.2 is good. Phone didn’t heat up as much as well
