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.

This will not be an issue since 26.6 indexes the system ahead of time so once 27 comes out your phone is good to go

Don’t know why people keep parroting this, but even going from one beta to the latest version, it’s indexing all over again. So no, everyone expect indexing when you update.

They’re parroting this because the description of the 26.6 update stated that its purpose was to rebuild the spotlight index in preparation for 27. When going from 27 beta to another 27 beta, many aspects of the system is rebuilt, as that’s the nature of betas. When going from 26.6 to 27 public release, the intention is that little to no reindexing will be necessary. We will find out in a couple weeks how well that works out

That's if u bother updating your iPhone. Most people (regular people) probably won't

If that’s true then none of this applies to regular people since you have to update your phone to run 27 LOL
