iOS 27 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[slomtbr]

How is beta two for everyone, is it stable so far? I’m on the first beta and it has been solid for me both macOS and iOS.

For me, two standouts are b2 fixes the CarPlay restarts, but killed my automations/shortcuts.

Yeah. I’m trying to decide as well if I’m going to hop on the beta 2 or wait for b3

Why haven't you updated since Beta 1? It's a great run so far!

Uhh… no thanks Siri… I’m good.

Siri asks to clarify what she heard you say way too often. I hope this feature doesn't make it to RC

I just updated my Mac and phone to beta 2. So far so good.

Couple of new ones - iPhone Air.
Had to take a trip down to Phoenix ….
Connected via Car Play and could not get it to make a call. Other features seemed to work okay. Siri was sloooowwwww. Hooked to a Chevy Colorado (2026). Going to play around a bit more this weekend.

Also while in Phoenix, wife and I stopped for lunch. Tried to bring up a live view from my Amazon Blink system. The request just spins. Did the same request on my wife’s Galaxy S25Plus and worked just fine. The Air works fine on WiFI, but not on 5G.

Anyone else having maps in carplay (Waze, Apple Maps) constantly switching from light mode to dark mode back and forth all drive while driving in normal daylight? Happens every drive to and from work (so morning and evening). Going to log it as an issue, but didn’t see it mentioned here when searching.

Very solid, both iOS and MacOS!
As I said before, this beta feels like a x.5 update, no major bugs or anything annoying since a few annoying bugs from beta 1 were fixed (cropping screenshots and iPhone Mirroring not working).
Battery life is now close to where it was during 26.6 beta.
