15 pro max / iOS 27. car audio unresponsive (wouldn't skip the track...my thought...let s do a force restart on the iPhone. DON'T. ☠️☠️☠️ bricked the phone. had to use dfu mode on my Mac to get it back. black screen off death (ummmm. hello windows), no response until the dfu. restored using Mac, to 26.5.
 
Working beautifully on my 14 Pro. Smoother and faster than iOS 26.

Wireless CarPlay working well with my Mr12Volt unit in my 2011 BMW E91.

Then you’ve been asleep. At least one poster on this thread said he does as well. Since even useless do not disturb lets some calls through. Not interested. Left it on last night. Didn’t change a thing. Still indexing.
That’s because Apple has said indexing can take up to 1-2 weeks, and dnd only lasts calls in if you have not set it up correctly….

Was keeping track of indexing. Finished up last night on my 17 Pro. Still on the waitlist for the new Siri over 24hr now. Have around 60GB photos/videos & usual array of typical apps installed nothing large.



Indexing started 9:16AM

Indexing finished 11:58PM

14hr 42min.
Both iPad Pro and 17 PM still indexing. Installed the minute they became available.

Just because it’s still indexing doesn’t mean it fell asleep when you did. The whole process has been rebuilt, so it’s going to take longer than usual.
The heavy stuff only happens when the iPhone’s plugged in and not being used. So yes, leaving it plugged in does speed it up.

is this release stable enough to run on a main device for people who are impatient 👀
I am running it on my main/only iPhone against my better judgement. However, I must say that I have encountered no issues with it and it runs smoothly and consistently for me. I am still indexing two days later and waiting on Siri, but other than that, no issues on my 17 Pro.
 
Finally got new Siri on 16PM! And now I have a weird new bug where my emojis completely disappeared from my keyboard… (edit: they’re back! that was odd lol)

Did the Terminal trick on my M1 MBP and played around with Siri. Very impressive. Still waiting for it to show up on my iPhone.

Battery life on 17PM seems slightly worse than iOS26 but not bad for a b1. Indexing still going strong lol.

Are there any Calendar widget improvements? I'm still waiting for Apple to just rip off Fantastical's widgets as I vastly prefer them but don't want to use Fantastical.
None, calendar app is ****ed though in this beta.

I’ve been running beta’s since waaayyy back to iOS 5 and the last few years have been soooo much better with stability and such with iOS 27 being probably the best I’ve experienced. That all said, beta’s are stable until they aren’t, lol. Your definition of stable might not be the same as anyone else’s and there’s also an element of risk (ask the folks with 15PM for example!). Def think you should give it a go, make sure you make a fresh backup beforehand.

It for sure is stable enough for me on my iPad (didn't dare to put it on my iPhone yet). But watch out for any third party apps that may not be working. One notable example for me is Adobe Lightroom.

Also, betas 2 and 3 might introduce issues (historically they did), only to get better from beta 4 onwards. But... no risk no fun 😉

Same. The month view with the heatmap option is my favorite. That and the mini-app in the Mac status bar. Only two things keeping me there now.
 
A force restart is really intended for situations where the iPhone is unresponsive and can’t be turned off and on normally. I’ve been doing it out of habit all these years.
It’s also good at stopping an errant app that can get stuck occasionally. I’ve had that a number of times over the years. A normal restart won’t stop such apps. You can tell when after a normal restart the battery is declining quickly and the phone is heating up. And when the phone is unresponsive that’s your only alternative. Not a process to do “just because” but it’s not harmful and can clear up some niggling issues. However, if 27 causes additional problems when doing this I’ll certainly try not to have any reason to do it.
