iOS 27 Speculation Thread

[TheByteSmasher]

Beta 5 is incoming.

On Saturday night, Apple published a new model catalog and an update for the base Apple Intelligence model, along with Expressive Voice configs for every American and British Siri voice.

The new Expressive Voice configs require the new base model. The server isn't serving the new base model version to current builds, so it seems that they're staging assets for new Beta versions.

See this thread for a demo of all the new voice configurations:

Apple published Expressive Voice configs for every American and British Siri voice last night. Here's what might be coming in Beta 5.

Last night, Apple released a new version of its Voice Presets list, which provides Expressive Voice configs for supported Siri voices. The new version includes configuration details for all 7 existing Siri American voices and all 4 British voices. This configuration file should enable the...

Speaking of…
Is there any way to delete downloaded models? They download when you try them and I’ll only ever use maybe 3.

Which model/asset are you referring to?

I was thinking last night and was curious but too lazy to research...

Are there any major announced iOS 27 features that we haven't seen in the betas yet? I know we will continue to see tweaks here and there, but I am wondering if there is anything big we haven't seen yet.

You have sources within Apple?

Yeah, a Mr. Magic 8-Ball.

Not that I’m aware of.

I guarantee you not everyone who installs these betas are all that concerned if one happens to be a week "late", or if all the issues they're experiencing are resolved.

I guarantee you that everyone who is experiencing serious issues with a beta is quite concerned when a beta is a week late.

I'm waiting for the feature to use one number with several iPhones. I guess will be announced alongside the Fold launch. But looking forward to that, as I want to have both the standard and the Fold phones.

There are some items with the On-Device Foundation Models that I am building into my apps that are being added during each beta cycle

hopefully beta 5 comes out today and hopefully it's stable enough for daily driver cause I haven't jumped in yet and I feel by beta 5 things should be mostly stable in my past experience.

Things are already very stable on beta 4. Performance is excellent. There’s just a couple small bugs here and there but overall I’m very impressed already

I’m not expecting anything today just so my hopes and dreams aren’t crushed.

I guarantee you that users with serious problems with the beta will return to the official version. Above all, however, they will use devices they do not need in everyday life. Both are highly recommended 🙂

We need Apple to ramp up the Liquid Glass slider to quench our thirst.

Just to get this out of the way, if 26.6.1 is a big / important security patch don't be surprised if it takes priority over the next beta from a release standpoint. IE we get beta 5 later today, tomorrow, etc.

Yeah I’m not rebuilding my phone until I move into the 18 PM, and if you’re handing out free iPhones, Macs, Apple TVs, and HomePods, I’ll gladly install on a “secondary” device.

Can’t wait for the usual “battery life is better/worse” posts all over social media after this security update.

To remind everyone. OS 27's main focus is performance and shipping a close to bug free OS Day 1. Apple is making sure OS 27 is incredibly stable. Even though they took last week off, the next iteration of OS 27 should be close to prime time.

Imagine 26.6.1 today and still no new beta… 😭😭😭

 

[cruelfoolish]

Today is gonna be the day

Screw you for even thinking that🙄

Especially control center and pop up menus.
