iOS 27 Speculation Thread

ibookemo said:
Cobold's post about kernel dates deserved more attention than it got, because it reframes the whole wait.

If beta 4's kernel was built on 14 July and shipped on the 20th as an f compile, that is six passes in under a week. Apple is not sitting on a finished build two or three betas ahead of us. They are compiling right up to the wire and throwing most of it away.

Which makes the letter a rough proxy for how much grief a build gave them on the way out. gtmead09 was half joking about wanting A and B builds by the RC, but that is exactly the shape you would want to see this late in the cycle. By that logic a beta 5 that turns up two days late as a c would be a better sign than one that arrived bang on Monday as another f. Worth checking the build string rather than the date when it does land.

No build has ever arrived faster for being refreshed at, sadly.

Kernels can be worked on separately from the rest of the build and can be merged together later.
Different parts of iOS are worked on by different teams as iOS is modular. So a kernel from a later date can be shipped with an older build.

So, no, beta 4 kernel being built on 07/14 doesn't prove the rest of the beta 4 hasn't been ready.

That OpenAI lawsuit really messed up Apple.

In all seriousness, there have been instances of Apple having a beta build go more than 14 days before a new build is pushed. Mostly due to summer holiday or major bug-squashing, compiler overhauls, or aligning developer builds with upcoming public beta drops.
