If iOS 27 is supposed to have minimum bugs, will the beta be the most stable ever?

Do you think even the betas of iOS 27 could be the most stable ever? Did you often have any bad experiences with betas? (is beta testing even worth it?)
Are you also happy  is fixing bugs instead of introducing flashy new features?

I’ve been using beta across all my devices for about 5 or 6 cycles and from dev beta 1 for the last 3 and I’ve not had any issues.

Not sure whether iOS 27 will be the most stable release though.

I’m a software engineer. I’ve written and found many bugs in testing. I really don’t want to test anything on my Apple products. I know some people can’t wait, but I’d rather have the release in the fall to look forward to. As much as I enjoy new and improved features, I’m happy if they focus on quality and stability improvements this year.

I actually think it will be the least stable beta and the whole Snow Leopard phrase needs to be retired.

My prediction is zero sign of any Siri or Apple Intelligence stuff in 26.4. 27.0 has everything. And it is the buggiest OS to date.

You don't give Siri the ability to control your phone and interact with all your apps without breaking stuff. Add in a new multitasking UI meant to help you go from outer screen to inner screen and you are sure to have more stuff break.

This is not Snow Leopard. This is not "no new features." This is just the same Apple crunch culture we have had for the past few years.

What a presumptive question! I think we have literally no idea if Apple is going to continue to try to add new features at the same pace or slow it down a little, but I really doubt that we will ever see a new release that has few new features.

As for Snow Leopard, Snow Leopard wasn't what everyone seems to remember it was.

They will be fixing all the bugs with the AI Siri they are rumored to be introducing in 26.4.

rumored to be introducing in 26.4.

Rumored by Gurman... last spring. He hasn't said anything about 26.4 in the last few months. I think the recent Gemini deal getting finalized might serve as a reset for any plans for 26.4. I wouldn't get my hopes up for it to be anything special.
