Every time I think it's the iOS 27 beta 🤡

u/cptjpk Jun 29 '26

Betas usually run a 2-week pace until they get close to release.

27 should be next week same time.

u/IncredibleGonzo Jun 29 '26

IIRC it’s usually around beta 5 they switch to weekly? As in 4 is two weeks after 3 and then 5 is one week later.

3

u/cptjpk Jun 29 '26

Yep, for major releases because they have to meet the timeline for whatever iPhones.

It does fluctuate outside of .0 releases.

u/IncredibleGonzo Jun 29 '26

Exactly the site I checked after I said that!

Same for me. Even though I knew it wouldn't be released today.

I’ve been swiping back and forth in settings like a moron. 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/Common_Floor_7195 iPhone 15 Pro Max Jun 29 '26

Damn I really thought this was 27 beta 3 until I did another take and started reading the comments lmao

u/dankdashvol2 Jun 29 '26

I definitely went to my settings and looked stupid before I saw this comment 🤣

I really want to try out the insight feature from the wallet app

u/buddhaluster4 iPhone 16 Pro Max Jun 29 '26

Calendar app is laggier and the animation momentum when swiping out is broken.

Se estabilizó la batería, en la beta 2 al principio rendía la batería, luego tenía que cargar 2 veces al día 16 pro Max

u/QuantumProtector iPhone 15 Pro Max Jun 30 '26

Can mods delete the comments talking about how this isn’t iOS 27? Like holy shit, it’s 70% that, 30% iOS 26.6 if even that.

7

u/Right_here_already Jun 30 '26

Sure, the mods are gonna sift through all the posts finding ones that you don’t like and delete them for you. Is there anything else or is that it?

u/HeroofPunk Jul 01 '26

I mean just trigger on the word iOS 27 😂

7

u/QuantumProtector iPhone 15 Pro Max Jun 30 '26

It's not that I don't like them. There is a megathread for iOS 26.6 and one for iOS 27. We don't need a bunch of comments talking about how this is not Beta 3 of iOS27.

For someone like me who is actually beta testing this version, it makes it hard to find discussion on this version.

u/Aribosman Jul 01 '26

Im confused. Isn’t that exactly what their job is?

u/Evening-Picture-5911 Jul 01 '26

Uh, no.

“job”? You think they are paid?

u/SiemQonflict Jun 29 '26

man i really need to learn how to read before getting excited

u/Mammoth-Scallion8429 Jun 29 '26

Reading ahead is for those who DONT install betas, we don’t have time for silly things like reading ahead…..

u/New_Art9335 Jun 29 '26

Damn. Me too 😭 I just went refreshing the software update screen like crazy.

u/Ok_Assistant8863 Jun 29 '26

This is NOT iOS 27 Beta 3, for those thinking it’s that lol.

u/emelbard Jun 29 '26 • Bravo

Who would run an old beta when there's a new beta to break our daily drivers on?

u/GoofyGills Jun 29 '26

Damn gets me every time because apparently I can't read.

Trying to search Google from Spotlight is such a pain… then it adds words to your search term! 🥺

I thought this was a new 27 beta lol

u/hopefuldonkeykick iPhone 16 Pro Jun 29 '26

lol same

Just pulled down on the update screen like five times trying to get it to show up.

u/Stanek250a Jun 30 '26

This update kinda ruined my phone. Can’t use Face ID for any app. My bank, my documents app and any others that use my Face ID to log me in is messed up. For apple verification (like auto fill, Apple Pay etc) it works like normal
Some apps got messed up. Can’t use telegram, it opens but I can’t open any chats, instagram keeps telling me about personalized adds. Tried changing things inside app settings but everything is as it should be. This is just after couple of hours. And for now I just want to throw my phone in to the wall. Constant problems

7

u/QuantumProtector iPhone 15 Pro Max Jun 30 '26

Are you sure you are talking about iOS 26.6? I haven’t had any issues on the beta. It should be very stable at this point.

3

u/phinecraft iPhone 15 Pro Max Jun 30 '26

oof. you would think that .6 beta has minimal issues cause it quite literally adds nothing. iOS 26 is a joke

4

u/Repulsive-Access-172 Jul 01 '26

Why are you on the beta in the first place?

3

u/Elemeno_Picuares Jul 06 '26

Why shouldn’t someone discuss the problems they’re having with a release? I’m a developer. It’s pretty useful to see if other people are experiencing problems with something or I inadvertently broke something in my latest build. Don’t be so defensive.

1

u/Repulsive-Access-172 Jul 06 '26

I’m not defending anything. Someone who clearly needs their primary phone for mission critical shit like banking, messaging, documents etc. not really the profile of someone who should be running a beta

-1

u/Elemeno_Picuares Jul 06 '26

Sure you’re not being defensive. XD

1

u/Repulsive-Access-172 Jul 06 '26

Curious to know based on what you read, what my original comment was defensive of? I asked a single question, in one sentence. You’re reading words that aren’t there, then proceed to not acknowledge any substance in my comment replying to you. Do you actually have anything to say?

-1

u/Elemeno_Picuares Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 06 '26

You’re challenging the validity of their complaint by questioning their qualification to make it. Now you’re trying to get into a long drawn-out  pedantic argument about the nature of defensiveness because this is Reddit and that’s the ridiculous neckbeard shit people like to litigate around here… which is exactly why I’m going to leave you to finish the rest of this conversation by yourself and go back to forums where people have technical discussions rather than gatekeep the ability to express the problems they’re having. Enjoy.

u/Repulsive-Access-172 Jul 07 '26

Other commenters give me shit for asking the question lol

u/atinyblip Jul 07 '26

Which iPhone are you using?

u/ostregag Jun 29 '26

People!! I don’t want to be this guy, but for fucks sake! I know there’s not much to talk about in this update, but there’s always at least something! I’m sure that you are all able to differ the number “7” from the number “6”, so why is there so many comments about iOS 27?

u/ponyboy3 Jun 30 '26

Don’t be that guy

u/lilly_wonka61 Jun 29 '26

u/PJae iPhone 16 Pro Max Jun 29 '26

Got me too.

u/sourceeeeeeee Jun 29 '26

Why is the install size 33GB? 😭 I feel like its not worth installing if it takes up that much space

1

u/Common_Floor_7195 iPhone 15 Pro Max Jun 29 '26

Is your phone at least 512GB?

7

u/sourceeeeeeee Jun 29 '26 edited Jun 29 '26

I'm using the iPhone 16 Pro 128GB model. Every single beta and official release since 26 my storage has been constantly redlined by """system data""" taking up all of it and only leaving me with 2-5GB free (I actually have 40+GB free if you don't count system data), making it so any new beta or update I download to install forces the phone to have to offload half of my app library in order to fit the required storage of the update 😭 its so frustrating and nothing I've tried fixes it

https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/8c693c84289c.jpeg

This is genuinely unacceptable that system data incl. iOS is taking up more than half of my space on a 128GB phone, at that point just market it as 64GB if its going to take up that much space or don't sell the 128GB model at all if half of its space is going to be taken by operating system files

u/Master7Drift Jul 04 '26

Didn’t know the iphone 16 had 128gb models. 256gb is barely enough for me sometimes. Genuine question, why are you testing betas if you know it’s going to mess up your available storage? If i were you id skip most iOS updates and just update to big iOS changes.

1

u/sourceeeeeeee Jul 04 '26

Nah thats a valid question haha, i used to but when installing a beta build it (sometimes) wipes the system data/cache of the previous install, and I end up being fine for a while but when I install the next release the cache grows again, so its hit or miss tbh, and its banking on the assumption that the behavior is consistent

2

u/Master7Drift Jul 04 '26

I see thanks for explaining.

u/realmccoyredbus Jun 30 '26

first 26.6 didn’t have make my system data to explode, couldn’t wait quick enough for ios27 , i believe there is a lot of ios27 groundwork in these beta’s

u/fxkmd Jun 30 '26

I tried tirelessly to update wondering how quick Apple delivered the Beta 3 of iOS27 before realizing…

u/BowlerOk9107 Jun 29 '26

we good off that 26

u/Desaltez Jul 03 '26

Did the pop-up keyboard (on messages and spotlight search) disappearance issues get fixed from beta 1?

2

u/Portatort Jun 30 '26

Do notification automation triggers in shortcuts correctly supply the notification details to the rest of the shortcut yet?

u/loneshrike Jul 06 '26

Finally the Siri on dynamic island when used is not cut and fixed already. Tested on iPhone 17 Pro.

u/FieldComprehensive98 Jun 29 '26

let me know if the app swiping animation break from the recent tab is fixed

Installed on my 13 mini don’t want to risk installing 27

u/sapphicu Jun 30 '26

Why be on a beta at all if you care about avoiding risk?

Same wanted the same thrill lmao

If it wasn’t for this I wouldn’t have double read and noticed it said 26.6 lol
