iOS 27 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Charka123]

I installed it on my old 13 Pro, and it seems like they probably specifically optimized the boot sequence. It boot up a few seconds faster than my 17 Pro on latest iOS 26 public release…

I think performance wise they cooked 👀 doesnt feel like a beta and better than any iOS 26 Release.

It seems like the last few years beta 1 feels solid. It kind of goes to **** for the next few betas before stabilizing again.

Dark icons seem darker to me. Used to be more gray and now it’s black.

Yep. Noticed this too.

So I’m in the UK but still let’s me join the waitress. Maybe Apple now realises UK is not in the EU

the fact that its actually labeled new Siri... is kinda wild

Interested in any changes to the calendar and weather apps, if any.

What about icons respring?

I just noticed the change in battery icon in my photos. Where’s the “little things” thread?

Weather app has a new “Highlights” section. Has like a natural language sounding summary of the next 5 days.

The Conditions area has tabs for temperature, precipitation and rain.

I am curious if anyone could post out any new wallet build your own passes screenshots? I am interested to see how this works.....

That's because there is none. This update only focuses on Apple Intelligence and your kids.

First part of the keynote explained how there’s absolutely loads of under the hood performance and general fixes.

For me that’s a great feature.

Notifications seem quite delayed across multiple apps

The weather app has some interesting new graphic elements. I enjoy it

I’m excited for this too, just as much for the complaints around here as my own experience with my device.

New edit icon during Home Screen customization. Looks nice.

Weather app has had a big update. Lots of improvements and more data displayed, looks beautiful.

This is more like iOS 26.7

If I remember correctly, Beta's 2 and 3 are downgrades with beta 4 being the semi-holy grail.

I somehow simultaneously don’t doubt you but also don’t buy that for a second.

iOS 26 felt like crap to me right from the start. I was constantly getting icon resprings, and now that’s completely gone. It feels super snappy, even though it’s still indexing.

By the way, I’m on an iPhone 13 Pro. I have to say, I’m really surprised. Everything that felt off in iOS 26 (in terms of performance) is gone now.

Lol alarms in clock app still dont have Liquid Glass effect

It most certainly IS NOT!

Release notes state:

Weather Highlights is currently only available in US English.

I assume that's the language you're using.

I don't want to be that person, but as a software engineer, that's literately your job year round. Your paid to fix and debug code. Then send to production.

I should not have to wait a whole year when "you" (Apple) should have made OS 26 perfect by 26.1. or dare i say, at launch. I bought a M5 iPad Pro that stayed in the box 5 months until 26.3 launched.

It is not. I am using UK English.

Oh my gosh they circumcised and fattened the battery icon???
