Was hoping to get them new wallpapers 🤨

There may be some smaller issues remaining, but this has been, over all, the smoothest and most performant beta cycle I've seen since Snow Leopard dev seeds. If most (but not all) of the complaints are cosmetic, we're in good shape. And the RC _always_ ships with a lot of smaller fixes delayed to the x.1 beta cycle.

In 2009 Snow Leopard shipped with one of the worst data-deletion bugs ever:

Snow Leopard Bug Responsible for Loss of User Data Gaining Notice [Updated]

Late last week, 9 to 5 Mac noted that a number of users have reported a Mac OS X Snow Leopard bug apparently related to Guest accounts that is resulting in a complete loss of user data. The problem appears to manifest itself on machines which had the Guest account option enabled under Leopard...

Snow Leopard only matured into the legendary release it became later on after several updates.
I’d hope iOS 27 RC is a lot better than SL!

Issues persist in RC:

Still cant start an Apple Watch workout from Shortcuts.

Using Siri to perform actions on phone (like complete a task) still require the device to be unlocked.

Will test the issues with Siri in CarPlay later.

At this point, do we think it’s intended behaviour?

It's a feature! 🙄

You’re most likely looking in the wrong place… are you sure you’re checking the WiFi signals specifically from the Control Center?

On my iPhone Pro Max 15 and my iPad Pro M5 in checking the WiFi symbol, in the control panel it is fine

Expand the Control Center Wi-Fi/connectivity platter to view all available networks and you'll see it 🙂

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about this one! I wasn't affected by it, so the memory didn't stick.

I still stand by my hot take that this has been, overall, a very smooth beta run. Especially when you compare with last year's mess.

That is exactly what I. Now with readers (glasses off) I can see the very tiny dot on the bottom is off and the top bar is on for several neighbors. Oh well back to the optometrist. Boy the lock almost hides it.

Still can't turn on Apple intelligence features for Home. Toggling on "Summarize Videos" for specific cameras just turns off immediately. Only one camera toggle stays on.

Apple Devices?

I think you need a subscription plan for that? They hinted at that in their presentation today.

You are correct. The higher the tier, the more cameras you can add to the Apple Intelligence section.

I have the 2TB iCloud sub, which I believe includes this. It worked fine in earlier betas.

RC is bugged out , where are my widgets ?

 

[Hatton920]

Seems they have dropped how many cameras can be enabled on the 2TB iCloud plan for summary’s. It used to say 5. Not it says 2.

 

[Hans300]

On an old iPhone 14 - is performance noticeably better than iOS 26 ?

Issues persist in RC:

Using Siri to perform actions on phone (like complete a task) still require the device to be unlocked.

I just tested this by asking Siri if I have any new notifications and it replies I have to unlock first. This is very frustrating and a downgrade to Siri if this is the new way.

Try a restart.

A bug I am going to report through the feedback app but I am wondering if it's only on my iPhone 13 mini:

When watching a video a thin white outline is visible around the frame in portrait or landscape (TV, Youtube). You can see it very clearly when you have a black image (like the Apple TV logo at a start of one of their shows for example), and it disappears when you bring up the control overlay.

Am I the only one? It's been there since beta 4 I think.

Mine will only allow two cameras now where prior betas allowed up to 5

 

[DimaVR6]

Try a restart.

I did and even removed the widget and added it back it and still same issue ? Never had this bug before

Did you find this cute guy? Moof!
