They are certainly not anomalies. Most people simply don’t notice feel the need to focus on one short stutter in a couple of minutes or the micro stutters that are throughout ALL of iOS, macOS and watchOS.
Try this, use a black background on your Home Screen and rather slowly, and without lifting your finger, swipe left and right across the borders to the outer edge of the Home Screen. It’s more noticeable with the App Library and Today View. It stutters. It almost always does. And always did. Did you ever notice? Did you ever talk about it?

Stutters on Apple software are nothing new and have long become more than anomalies.

Appears approving screentime requests is still broken via notifications or using Apple Watch. You have to do it inside the messages app. I am not sure if it matters the child device is iOS 26.

That’s not a beta issue. I’m on 26.5.2 and get the same link error. Not sure what you guys are trying to search for, but it doesn’t exist yet.

I’m not trying to search for anything. That’s the site that opens when you tap “Learn More” in “Optimizing Siri and Search”.
Should have been more clear.
Thanks for pointing it out but obviously the link doesn’t work in general.

Disagree; I’ve had countless instances where I’ve shown iOS device owners stutters on their own devices only for them to mention, “never noticed that before” and now they can’t unsee them.

100% agree with your response.

New Siri is still VERY janky and uneven in CarPlay. For example, I ask her to "text Cindy". She takes upwards of ten seconds to ask what I want to say and then often at least that long to decide to read it back to me and ask if I want to send it. Sometimes the confirmation tone is interrupted by her voice. All I can say is that it is POSSIBLY a bit better than in Beta 2....... but old Siri still works FAR better and smoother.

Siri is waiting for your message to Cindy.
Just activate Siri, and as soon as you hear the tone, say, "Tell Cindy I'm on my way home.", (or whatever) without a pause.

Countless? Are you exaggerating here? Or is that part of your work?

I’m specifically talking about posts stating iOS 27 had been much smoother. My comment was neither about prior iOS versions nor about proving users they’re mistaken.

I’ve always had a wallpaper but noticed the stutters you mentioned on some versions of iOS 26 which I did mention multiple times before. Not noticing those now. And I’m not saying iOS 27 is completely stutter free either.

Not exaggerating in the least; I do come across many iOS devices in my day to day.

If iOS owners never notice the stutters until someone points them out, what reason does Apple have to fix it?

Ideally? They'd fix it because they're the perfectionists they claim to be.

We don't live in an ideal world though, so you're right that they're content with "good 'nuff"

Honestly not sure if showing the percentage is as simple as flipping a switch but i can see both sides of the argument although i think they really should either be completely closed or completely transparent (i prefer the latter tbh)

That may be.... I'll try that. But it doesn't explain the other long delays like after I am through dictating and waiting for her to read it back and ask if I want to send it.

In any event, to avoid confusion if operation has changed, she should prompt the same as old Siri if I stop talking? Otherwise, how are all the millions of users to figure out she is waiting for me?

Again, beta 3 is a bit faster / better than beta 2, where voice to text over Carplay was essentially unusable. I could never tell if she was stuck or just glacially slow. "Send it?" "yes"....... llloooonnnnggggg pause before confirmation and return to normal Carplay screen. By comparison, old Siri was WAYYY faster.
 
Advanced Dictation Preview is now automatically enabled on iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Advanced Dictation Preview option in Keyboard settings has been removed.

You might have to wait until the "Apple Intelligence assets need to finish downloading." message disappears under the ChatGPT setting in Settings > Siri to use the new dictation model.

You can check if you're using Advanced Dictation by inspecting the logs your iPhone creates while dictating. Connect your iPhone to a Mac and open the Console app on your Mac. In the sidebar, select your iPhone, start the log streaming, and type FoundationModelTranscriber in the search bar. Start a dictation on your iPhone. You’ll see “Using FoundationModelTranscriber for this request” if your iPhone is using the new Advanced Dictation models.

The model is English-only (com.apple.fm.language.instruct_3b.asr_natural_dictation_speech?language=en).
