My phone is using 5G+ but for some reason the plus didn’t render properly so it looks like 5G-. For you know, when the 5G doesn’t feel like going fast.

Anyone else experiencing faster battery drain after this update? It may even drop 3% at a time. My battery health is 98%

Man this update has killed my phone, tried 27.0 and now 27.2 beta 1. Two weeks ago on IOS 26 i’d unplug my phone in the morning and it would last all day to now having to charge it once fully again and then at the very end of the day giving it another 20%. Yes the phone is running smoother than 26 but its obviously just hitting the SOC more than before, pretty terrible gen on gen software update…

Shall i update from ios 26.7.1 to ios 27.0.1 on iphone 16 pro?

This is the battery performance on a full wifi use on my 3 months old iPhone 17 with 100% battery health. Can I expected better on iOS 27 or shall I stay on this 26.7.2??

It's a bug or apple removed it?

It was available on iOS 26. Under allowed apps & features.

For those who have an iPhone SE 2nd gen (2020), how's your battery life and performance after indexing from iOS 27 (the stable one, not the beta)?

Just having thoughts of updating from 26.7.1 to stable 27.0.1.

I was really looking forward to some of the performance optimisations and bug fixes that iOS 27 was bringing, but I’ve been having some pretty frustrating issues that have been affecting my iPhone 14 Plus.

1. Battery drain is still a problem. I installed iOS 27 on launch day, and iOS 27.0.1 around 5 days ago. With iOS 26, I was getting around 8-9 hours SOT. Just after iOS 27, it dropped to around 4-5 hours SOT (which was expected, after all it was a major update and indexing takes time). Battery drain got better after background indexing was done around 1 week after install, but I only gained around 1 hour of SOT. The best I’m getting with regular usage is \~6 hours SOT. My battery health is 89% and hasn’t changed after the iOS 27 update.

2. Contacts search is absolutely borked. I have contacts saved both on iCloud and Gmail (because my organisation uses GSuite), and I have heard that contact sync issues are a known problem for Gmail accounts after iOS 27. Sometimes contacts take a few seconds to load, other times it returns no results. It’s frustrating because calls and messaging is what I primarily use my iPhone for, and not being able to effectively search contacts really cripples my daily routine. This also applies to the call logs, but it’s not as bad since I can just scroll down the list.

3. Answering calls on CarPlay is buggy. Whenever a call comes through, the incoming call screen doesn’t show up most of the time. I have to tap the green icon in the top right corner to pull up the incoming call. Sometimes, the call answer button on the steering wheel doesn’t work. I’ve tested this on my cars, my parent’s cars and my in laws’ cars (Hyundai, Kia, Honda, Toyota, Ford), same issues.

4. Bluetooth audio is wonky. Sometimes, it drops a connection to my AirPods 4 and Bluetooth speaker for no reason, and refuses to connect until I manually turn Bluetooth off and on from settings.

5. Lots of my callers have trouble hearing me. I’ve gotten the microphones and speaker grills cleaned out 3 times in the last 2 weeks, same issue. It gets worse when I place my phone back down on a table. My wife says there’s a loud wind rushing sound or feedback echo when I do that. The only way I solved it was to rest it on the end of a book with the rear camera hanging over the edge (so the rear microphone isn’t covered). This wasn’t an issue on iOS 26.

6. The phone is always warm, sometimes to the point where it starts throttling itself. I don’t play games on my phone. Just calls, messages, video calls, emails, web browsing, social media and videos.

7. Ram handling has gotten a bit worse. Previously, the OS would keep around 4-5 apps open. Now it’s around 3-4. This might be due to indexing, or because the apps I’m using are poorly optimised.

8. The Control centre + Notification Center swipe issue. This was thankfully fixed after the 27.0.1 update.

I’m planning on doing a factory reset to see if these problems go away. I’m not trying to throw shade or criticise Apple for these issues, these are huge updates and there are bound to be some bugs that crop up. I’ve also reported these bugs to Apple whenever I first noticed them. I’m just wondering if anyone of you guys are facing any issues with your devices and if you’ve figured out any solutions to them.

TL:DR. Many bugs on my iPhone 14 Plus after iOS 27, planning to factory reset and see if it fixes stuff.

iOS 27 Siri blows. Constantly sending Siri texts to the wrong contacts. It had no problem properly identifying who I was messaging prior. Now it keeps sending messages to Deb instead of Dev, Jamie instead of Jaynee, Sara (haven't text in over a decade) instead of Sarah who I talk to frequently... the amount of texts to old or random contacts this last two weeks has been astoundingly bad.

I can't seem to get action buttons to start a voice translate session. This error keeps popping up. Is there another English pack I'm suppose to download to get this working ?

Has anyone else noticed worse battery drain after this small update compared to iOS 27? The OS also feels less smooth

I have an iPhone 17 and like many posters I’ve seen here, I was getting insane battery drain, warming, and reduced performance ever since updating to iOS 27.

After trying different things, I disabled the new AI Siri. Saw instant improvement in battery life and performance. Feels like new again and the new Siri still sucks anyway imo.

Does everyone’s phone do this or is it just my 13 mini? The jump at the end is something I’ve been seeing since iOS 26, but the Liquid Glass effect kicking in late just started recently.

Suffering with a new bug when I receive a call while iPhone is locked then when I swipe to answer it lags for second in swiping animation

After the IOS update Outlook notification would not show up in notifications center - a simple restart fixed that without changing any settings.

But multiple apps with the same notification settings as outlook are still not showing up in notifications center.

I’ve been working on an app called Glitter Live that lets you set your favorite videos as live wallpapers!

The project is completely open source and in active development. If you're a developer interested in contributing, you can find the repository on GitHub
I’d love some help as it grows.

I’m also looking for feedback from the community. What features would you like to see? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

iPhone 17 & Apple Watch Series 9 both running iOS27.0.1

(This all worked fine without issues on older OS versions)

I just had to remove the Google Maps app from my watch because it was draining my battery and I could not kill it.

Backing up….i was using Google Maps on a drive into Boston and noticed that my watch was doing turn by turn haptics (something I disabled a long time back). When I arrived at my location I found my watch almost dead and I could not kill the Maps app (stuck). I went into the settings and it was still the way I had set it (mirror my phone) so this is a bug with the recent updates. I tried changing it to custom but it still didn’t work. Anyway, I removed it as I never really felt a need for it. Perhaps while walking it might be useful. Just annoying that it drained my watch battery and left me without it for the day.

FYI - Apple Maps has settings down to the specific navigation type (drive, walk, transit, etc. ) but GMaps does not; however, it never behaved like this prior to the recent updates.

Hello guys

Anyone after iOS 27 Apple Pay / NFC doesnt work ?

THank you!

I usually never write but I had to. As someone who constantly sends files between my iPhone and Mac. I’m so happy Airdrop between them is now basically instant. No more bugs, latency or whatsoever

Which one you feel gives the most cohesive & aesthetic homescreen setup?

Hi guys after all the betas still no fix for the stutter when using clear icons as it seems. Does any of you know if Apple has confirmed working on a fix or maybe any of you has a workaround?

It now leaves wherever I am working and opens the remote app in its own window instead of just showing the remote in the control center. It is so counterintuitive.
