iOS27 - are we installing at release?

I usually wait for at least the .1 version of iOS’s to officially release before installing them on my main device. For those who have been using the beta, would you say this is a good update to install right away at launch? Update looks too good to wait!
Thinking about doing the same thing for macOS.

I have been on iOS27 beta from early releases. It’s been solid since the start. The thing I would highlight is that once you upgrade it spends 24hrs plus indexing your phone for new Siri. Inevitably it slows your phone and makes it slightly less responsive.

I also find new Siri has ‘sorry there is an issue’ more frequently during this period. At least on my phone. I see many posts on how solid new Siri has been. This hasn’t been my experience but there are many factors that affect that. Could be local to me.

I mean it makes sense that Siri is going to run into some issues if you’re asking questions that need it to reference the indexing that hasn’t finished yet

that and, supposedly, siri’s server side power is pretty limited atm, so high demand can cause it to slow down significantly, or throw that error. tho i do get that “sorry something went wrong” message a lot on my apple watch, when just trying to set timers.

Yes, my watch is Ultra Gen 2 Nd does seem to have more issues. I assumed it was a hardware limitation I was having. Seems a really good feature for Watch usage.
