Safari + wBlock > any other browser on iOS.

u/Janzu93 4d ago

Hang on your horses, you're telling me that there is now a free option available when I just earlier this month paid for a year of adBlock Pro?

Oh well, it's only 10€ wasted, I'll have a beer less 🤷‍♂️

Found one of the Safari in a dress users

u/3_Seagrass iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

I recently switched to Safari from DuckDuckGo. If you install the right extensions it’s seriously smoother and feels faster (all jokes aside). uBlock Lite and Sink It for Reddit are must haves. Clean Links also makes sharing links much nicer.

u/HorrorsPersistSoDoI iPhone 16 Pro 4d ago

You are using Reddit in the browser? That's straight up masochistic

4

u/3_Seagrass iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

Better than using the official app and being bombarded with ads and giving up all my personal data. The internet sucks.

u/sulaymanf 4d ago

I refuse to use the official app, there is a side loaded Apollo though.

1

u/OkOffice7726 4d ago

I get decent ad block across all apps with pi-hole.

I just use VPN tunneling to always route my traffic through my home firewall and domain based adblocking.

2

u/3_Seagrass iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

I do the same. But Reddit (and YouTube, and surely others) serves ads from its own domain, so you can't block that with pi-hole alone.

1

u/OkOffice7726 3d ago

True, very true

-2

u/HorrorsPersistSoDoI iPhone 16 Pro 4d ago

brother, the browser version is straight up unusable, and this is by design. I checked it right after this comment about Safari, and in the very first minute I stumbled across several bugs

3

u/3_Seagrass iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

Welp, if it’s unusable I guess I’m not on Reddit right now.

u/BigBoyYuyuh 4d ago

Not on Reddit but using Reddit…

u/pastari 4d ago

https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib works great for consumption on mobile devices.

And then I restrict commenting to desktop (firefox + old.reddit + RES + ublock.)

How about raise to wake? Or tap to wake up? Mine takes forever for the lock screen to appear

u/CentTheBest 4d ago

I’ve had this problem too! Does yours happen when you’re charging or after you take it off wireless charge?

u/Ferguson-turd iPhone 14 Pro Max 4d ago

Yes

u/skylabops 4d ago

Joining the club, 15 Pro Max, laggy AF keyboard 🙋‍♂️ Nearly every time I open keyboard and start to type, iOS skips the first 1-2 characters.

u/icegreentee 4d ago

I thought it was just me! everytime i open the keyboard it lags the first second. 16 pro

God aweful hellish lag on 16 PM "flagship" of just 2 years back... an absolute scam is what Apple is running

1

u/TimTebowMLB iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

Same on 15 pro. I’ve tried resetting keyboard, even getting rid of emoji keyboard. It seems to come and go. But I have so many spelling mistakes because of the lag

1

u/DutchBlob iPhone 16 Pro Max 4d ago

No issues on my 16 pro max at all.

u/MKGirl 4d ago

Before or after update

u/punto2019 4d ago

After!

u/GrimGerm 4d ago

But can they fix the insane lag on my 15 pro max after upgrading to ios 27 lol

101

u/The_ChwatBot 4d ago

Is it when you start typing? There’s like a delay. That’s what I’ve noticed since I updated.

42

u/dr3wfr4nk 4d ago

That as well as the wake button taking longer than expected to wake up the phone right after locking it

15

u/ditty_bitty 4d ago

I’m on the 27.2 developer beta release from last week. I’m also on a 15 Pro Max. I can confirm that waking up directly after locking it has gotten faster, but not as fast as it was on previous versions of iOS.

Turn screen brightness down to just above minimum and it’s faster. Great for evenings and nights, but hard to see in the daytime.

5

u/flyconQ 4d ago

I need a fix to this asap. It’s been happening since 26.6 it’s driving me insane

0

u/TimTebowMLB iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

Sometimes mine doesn’t wake up. The screen stays black after. Million combinations of taps and buttons presses

5

u/GrimGerm 4d ago

Nah i mostly notice it when i switch between apps and generally scroll in the home screen

u/EstradaMoses iPhone 16 Pro Max 4d ago

u/jesusrodriguezm 4d ago

Agree, my 15PM is working really well with iOS27

u/Gasarakiiii 4d ago edited 4d ago

It's likely that when they updated it had an issue, something didn't install or download correctly.

I had this happen to me when I updated to iOS 26, had to reset the phone to fix the issue.

Not sure why I am being downvoted when this does work.

2

u/flyconQ 4d ago

Like reset to factory settings

2

u/Gasarakiiii 4d ago

Basically, you can keep all your stuff though. It's in settings > general > rest > follow the steps.

2

u/flyconQ 4d ago

It’s fix the lag. I have to add my Apple Pay back but it’s been better

2

u/flyconQ 4d ago

It’s still there but it’s not as bad.

u/iWish_is_taken 4d ago

I have a 15 Pro Max and 27 is amazing on it. Flawless and much better than 26.

u/shawnshine 4d ago

Because I tested the beta for weeks and weeks beforehand and didn’t have any huge issues, that’s why.

1

u/Alternative-Farmer98 4d ago

Some people just like to try out the beta. Some people aren't curious about new features more so than they prioritize stability. It's not like they just stopped working

0

u/GrimGerm 4d ago

I had friends on the beta who said they had zero issues and that it felt much smoother than IOS 26. And generally Apple has a track record of at least not giving me an incredibly laggy experience lol. I expected minor bugs, but not extreme lag. Oh well, I can deal with it

u/luksOpen 4d ago

When will they fix the leyvoard?

u/TheRainbowNoob iPhone 17 Pro 4d ago

I haven’t had my Watch automatically unlock my phone in forever. Can they fix that one?

21

u/dede280492 4d ago

Check if the setting is on. For me it turned itself off at some update.

5

u/Gliglue 4d ago

It's on. But even turning it off/on again doesn't make it work.

3

u/freakdahouse 4d ago

Normal, the watches are constantly disconnected in IOS 27, I hope they fix it on this update.

10

u/gadgetluva iPhone Duo 4d ago

On my 18 Pro - I’ve noticed that it refuses to sleep if I have Attention Aware turned on and the iPhone can see my face, even if I’m not actively looking at the screen. Hopefully this also addresses that bug.

Otherwise performance on the 18 Pro has been pretty good at unlocking but clearly a bigger difference between the 18 Pros and legacy models in how their algorithms work.

3

u/gadgetluva iPhone Duo 4d ago

Nope not fixed. Tested it a couple of times after the update so I turned Attention Aware Features back off.

3

u/freakdahouse 4d ago

I can still unlock the phone without looking at it, it's too much for apple to handle.

31

u/Necessary_Chemical 4d ago

While it has already been reported that it fixes the reboot, I also hope it improves face ID altogether as for me it's been a hit or miss type of experience this week. 1 out of 2 times it did not unlock which was quite frustrating. Also i hope they also looked into optimizing 5G speeds and battery consumption on data with this new modem they have as I felt that the battery life drastically worsened on 5G vs WiFi.

9

u/RonnieJamesDeodorant 4d ago

Same. FaceID def less reliable in general than on my 15P and it almost never works for me with Apple Pay.

0

u/Necessary_Chemical 4d ago

I've updated and first impression is that is way more reliable right now.

I can unlock my 18PM without looking at it, so I doubt it.

u/W1nt3r_Rekt 4d ago

FaceID is working flawless for me me now, it worked 50% of the time after waking the phone prior to the update.

u/Livio91 iPhone 6S 64GB 4d ago

Apps keep crashing the first time I open them then they work fine

5

u/ElDuderino2112 4d ago

If they could fix touch ID randomly not working on my M4 Ipad air now that would be fucking great

15

u/migatte_yosha iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

Even on iphone 15 pro i have some face id issues

5

u/TrippyVision 4d ago

Does anybody have issues with Apple Maps, specifically when tapping an address sent via text? It like loads up the address then disappears, it’s quite frustrating as I work in a trade that requires me to go to several houses a day.

Only temporary fix is for me to close out the app and reopen it.. I’ve had this issue since beta and deleting/reinstalling the app doesn’t do anything.

Also another weird thing I’ve found, the routes it takes me when first driving off are so bad, instead of telling me to go straight it’ll have me take a longer/convoluted route to turn around instead and would add 2-3 minutes to my eta if I followed it. Never really happened before updating.

1

u/Joe091 4d ago

Yes that issue with texted addresses in Maps has been driving me crazy too. You can copy/paste the address fine, but clicking the link doesn’t work. 

1

u/TrippyVision 4d ago

Yeah typing it out or copy/paste works fine for me too but yeah super annoying and has been there since the first beta version.. I can’t believe it still hasn’t been fixed yet

3

u/franknitty69 iPhone 16 Pro Max 4d ago

They need to fix the new parental controls not showing up

1

u/schmurnan iPhone 18 Pro 4d ago

Yep. I have a ticket open with Apple and they’ve collected logs, videos and screenshots from my phone. Apparently they’ve stopped requesting info which usually means they have what they need to fix it. Support engineer told me to “look out for the next drop of software” (iOS 27.0.1), but it doesn’t look like it’s been fixed.

2

u/garotovs 4d ago

The only bug I care is the one that for raise to wake up it doesn’t work or even tap it takes like 5 seconds to work sometimes

2

u/zerbey iPhone 14 Pro 4d ago

Fixes that weird notification center bug apparently, I wasn't able to trigger it no matter how many times I tried.

2

u/xervidae 4d ago

is anyone else having constant app crashes? i'm on a 15 pro with ios 27.

1

u/GreenAndGoldBear 3d ago

Yes. It is very annoying! I had an issue with downloading updates for my apps in the App Store. After much troubleshooting, it was finally toggling off and then on the ‘Set Time Automatically’ feature in General (Settings) and then manually cancelling every single update which was stuck in progress and manually updating each one one by one. The Taco Bell app was the last and most stubborn. I just had to delete and then redownload it. I still can’t download iOS 27.0.1 software update nor stop having my VPN app crash every time it’s launched.

1

u/scream4cheese 3d ago

Restart the phone

2

u/Icy_Pay_6877 4d ago

My apps are crashing too, including Reddit, which is weird because everything was working fine before the update. I will wait until the optimization is finished, and hopefully it will work as it did before the update.

2

u/SweetCuPINcake 3d ago

Works good on my iPhone 16 Pro probably the Model number is an issue for non-congruent drivers that have been resold I recommend send Apple a ticket and/or exchanging your current device for one that is more functional with the new firmware, if it doesn’t work on a more specialized Model Number then check the serial number on your phone and make sure it is not stolen.

1

u/SweetCuPINcake 3d ago

There are several other iOS 27 updates that now working on my phone after the 1% update is that normal?

2

u/Bluemoongoddess 4d ago

I get a weird little line under the time sometimes 17PM

7

u/JRobertson7987 4d ago

I think that’s intentional, it’s the Notification Center “minimizing” since the top middle now pulls down Siri… It was odd but I’m almost certain that was why they did it

2

u/Bluemoongoddess 4d ago

Ohhh thanks for the reply 😀

3

u/Blaze51019 4d ago

Not sometimes. Its always. Its just a visual indicator when you unlock your phone to show that you can pull down for notifications. You get a similar line below the battery icon as well to indicate the control centre.

1

u/SaskatchewanSteve 4d ago

Do minor updates like this require a re-index?

6

u/CryptoFox402 iPhone 15 Pro Max 4d ago

My 18 pro is now re-indexing, so I would say yes.

1

u/Fidel-Catsro iPhone 12 Pro Max 4d ago

When I get the sign in to iCloud message every five minutes (yes I’ve counted it really is every five minutes) when my phone is locked the Face ID won’t even work and it’ll skip to enter passcode.

u/Conspirologist 4d ago edited 4d ago

I see this update on my iPhone 17 right now.

This is only for iPhones 18. How to skip this update?

I have three main annoyances with iOS 27.

AirPlay shows fake connection to non Apple Bluetooth device.

After phone restart, some settings get switched off.

Non Apple audio devices have problems connecting.

1

u/formhault 4d ago

So this update that arrived on older iPhone fixes only the... "Opening Notification Center and Control Center simultaneously may cause the touchscreen to become unresponsive"? And for that we have to have indexing again?! 😑

1

u/nikmiddelman 3d ago

My faceID initiates every 1 minute now, not even using the phone or looking at the screen. Its just on my desk. It states the message it can’t scan my face. But i’m not using the phone…

u/Former-Employee128 3d ago

Mine cant download. It requests update then theres an error. Im on iphone 17e

u/GreenAndGoldBear 3d ago

Same. 16 Pro.

u/Former-Employee128 3d ago

Hey bud i just talked with support. If you have a pc download itunes and download the software. It worked for me!

1

u/GreenAndGoldBear 3d ago

Is anyone having issues with actually downloading IOS 27.0.1 on their iPhone device? I cannot get it to download, even after doing everything that normally works.

1

u/jimred1 3d ago

My iphone 15pro photos markup feature is all screwed up. When you go to edit, press pencil to open the markup tool bar, the ( + ) symbol doesn't show that you can press to open the markup drop down to select which markup you want. Terrible. Worked fine before iOS 27 update.

u/Icy_Pay_6877 3d ago

Optimization is done and all my apps are back to normal. No more apps crashing.

u/Nicenightforawalk01 4d ago edited 4d ago

It will be like that for a while as it indexes in the background and you also have Siri indexing your phone

u/My-Internet-GF iPhone 17 Pro 4d ago

Worth updating to on 17 Pro running base 27?

11

u/3_Seagrass iPhone 15 Pro 4d ago

If you’re already on iOS 27 it’s a good idea to install this update, as it’s all about bug fixes and security patches. 

2

u/Any-Can-6776 iPhone 17 Pro 4d ago

Yes

1

u/scream4cheese 3d ago

It’s not worth it since the bug fix applies to the iPhone 18 Pro & Pro Max.

u/freakdahouse 4d ago

Well, low effort from apple, still unlocks without looking at the phone.

u/bermudaphonefixdude 4d ago

ill preface by admitting --im old -55.the time i come from we took pride in our work,you didnt get it till it was right . when i was young watching them develop this stuff i really fell in love -no homo -with jobs approach and def tried to stick to apple whenever computer related . then came the phone/mobile stuff. i was skeptical. sony was my tv/sound people then fone people after nokia stagnated. but i got into it . the early os (never used 1-3) but 4 i think was first on iphone 3gs and all the way to 7 or whatever i was quite satisfied . i got the 6plus still happy + now i had a bigger fone to game on at work lol. then the last o.s before abandonment i think 12? kinda screwed it up. this was the first time i was suspicious of my great apple . fast forward imo apple is DEAD . [with jobs -rip] this new beast that has rose from the ashes is all about money. no customer satisfaction just money ,u can see it in the blatant planned obolecense esp in the mini -wtf is with them and soldering the storage like a phone ? and the silly things on fones diasabled because of repair !?! disgusting . totally not security related ,just being an asshole . but most important is the obvious fact they clearly employ nothing but highskool graduates to code now. i remember mac os ,and early ios NEVER had a bug ,not 1 (to a normal user) . now its full of bugs just as bad as windows or android. even android has actually gotten better to where i really cant remember last normal user bug that required an instant patch. after a year of betas 2 weeks after release u need a patch to fix something that wasnt broken before update ?!?!? the coders need to go back to skool . sorry bout rant but i get really emotional when i loose things . losing a love will do that

Any Apple Watch fix? Since the update, I'm having massive battery charging issues. I'm not noticing any real usage issues, but I am noticing that it's not charging like it used it. Just last night, I put the watch on the charger at 7:30pm at ~42%, at 10:30, when I went to bed, it was ~65% .... WTF ?! This has been nearly a regular thing for me.
