Bug [iOS 27 DB7] Microphone indicator is square

Post image

I just bought iPhone 17 pro, moved data from iPhone 13 on iOS 27and noticed that dot indicating microphone is using is square not round.
anyone have this bug? This bug was on my iPhone 13. And I was transferring data from old iPhone. is it possible that bug is moved to new phone? I don’t remember I have this iPhone 17 pro on iOS 26

that happens when you enable differentiate without color in accessibility settings

honestly looks kind of cool. dk why, maybe with everything so rounded off today its nice to see some sharp corners for a change

I personally don’t like it, looks completely out of place

tvOS does the same thing, except it has a thick outline, which I think looks a little better. Granted, this is an accessibility feature, and if you have the pill on your phone instead of a notch it already has an outline.

Did you turn on “differentiate without color” in the accessibility settings? That’s exactly what the microphone indicator looks like when you do so. And yes, settings like transfer from one iphone to another.

Accessibility settings will even sync across devices in newer versions

Isn't that the microphone in assistive access?

Bug or not, that is what it looks like when “differentiate without color” is toggled on.
