Is there people in the UK with the new Siri?

I’m experiencing some WiFi drop outs and reconnects on iPhone 17 pro max

Same, it’s pretty bad so far. 🙁

For those of you that have gotten access to the new Siri - how is it?

Yep, joined the list last night and was enabled when I woke up this morning

If you sign up for Siri AI and get approved on one device, does it carry to others? Example I sign up on my iPad and get approved, do you have to be approved again on say your iPhone? I want to get the approval out of the way and debating on a iPad install so I'm good for when I try it on my iPhone later.

I joined the waitlist on my iPhone and it was available on all

I’m really digging iOS 27. It feels polished and fast. It’s what iOS 26 should have been. Being focused on stability and bug fixing is perfectly fine. AI features doesn’t matter to me since I live in EU. I’m used to waiting 1-2 years for the breakthrough features. It’s without a doubt the most stable DB1 I’ve ever used. It’s even exceeding iOS 26.5 in many areas.

Wow, this is a very impressive b1 — running on all my devices now and I’m actually quite blown away by how stable this is. Also appreciate all the attention to detail and the new Siri works great too. iOS 27 is going to be an awesome release that I think a lot of people will be very happy with.

Works fine for me. Mac Mini M4, iPhone 16, MBP M3.

Good to know, thanks !

Anyone else practically always having Passwords in their predictions here on MR?
Coupled with way worse autocorrect than with iOS 26, which was already bad compared to iOS 18 on my devices, and reduced accuracy with Slide to Type, typing is a lot less forgiving. Before I could even type blind but that’s just not possible anymore.

Uff. I should avoid this forum for a couple of weeks 😀
I don’t want to install it on my 17 Pro but it sounds really good so far.
Did install it on my base 13 yesterday but it’s not the same xD

I've never seen a dev beta this polished. Battery has been great too.

Can’t work out how to make the clock really small on a wallpaper

In 24 hours there's more positive on OS 27 beta 1 then there was OS 26 beta 1.

Last year, there would have been 27 pages just on how bad OS 26 is. With over 1000+ pages by RC build still taking bad.

Good sign for September.

I’m sure most people here know this. Over the past few years the initial beta for ios has been quite stable. It is sometimes in subsequent betas that problems appear/occur (that said, I myself am all in on the betas). For those who haven’t jumped in yet, my only work of caution is for WatchOS 27. Terrible terrible battery life on Ultra 2 and SE 3.

Got it

Finding that the volume slider is a bit laggy in the Control Center on my 17 Pro

A few CarPlay changes I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere else yet:

The dock, as well as widgets in Split View, are significantly more translucent. Not a huge fan of that.

Apps now have the same opening and closing animation as on iPhone! Big fan of that change.

Things as of now are running perfectly! I haven’t encountered a single system breaking bug yet and every app I use miraculously works!

Exactly this! It’s usually a case of strap in and grab your gum shield for betas 2 & 3!

Yeah. 2-3 are "usually" the slug betas with Beta 4/PB1 being the mid-tier perfection. Two steps forward. One step back.

Also, OS 27 is significantly more performance/stability heavy focused then OS 26.
