[its100proof]

No expressive voice for me now. Odd

This is digging deep because I’m still disappointed with how light mode looks on iOS 27, but there have been some changes. Darker shadows in the glass again and the curvature/shape of the Search bar has been tweaked again. Layering looks better now when you have something dark or colorful behind the glass (such as maps), but controls still look odd and oblong when it’s all white on white.

Seeing as we’re on beta 3 now, I’m worried they have no plans to match the pretty MacOS 27 glass with its HDR refractions.

Three betas so far and more feedback on this from me. It’s crazy how they feel I need a whole top bar for a title “settings” to live there but they can’t fix the bottom scroll edge which has been none existent, essentially leaving no distinction between controls and content ….

Had to reboot to get company's management profile to install. Kept failing prior.

No clue as to cause but my Air is currently sitting cooling down.
I picked it up to see where the install was (B3) and it was hot 🥵 to the touch. IR sensor said 109.1F.
It was shut down.

OTA update.

Cooled down so I tried booting it. All appears to be okay. No idea as to cause.

No expressive voice for me now. Odd

I still have expressive voice on my iPhone 17 Pro but it disappeared from my iPad Air M4. However, it is now enabled on my MacBook Pro M3 Max.

Edit: It has returned to my iPad Air M4

Yes, indexing notification is back…

It’s a little different and partly broken (the notification and info).

I can finally see my old conversations with Siri AI and the "Optimizing Search and Siri" is finally back. Siri was almost entirely gone in Beta 2 for me.

Custom Siri voice is gone Edit: on my iPhone Air at least

I have an Air and that setting was always there for me, I just couldn't adjust the settings. With beta 3 I can now adjust the settings on my Air.

Non matter temperature sensors or other devices connected to apple home thru a hub still shows as not responding.

Something seems off, was this red outline there before?

Yes

 

[COBRASVT]

It's been that way on mine and I'm still on B2

I think I see what y'all mean. The actual frequency is there now. (ie - LTE, 5G, 5GUW, etc.)

Just finish rebooting for me, and... Indexing message is back ! oh f*** ! 😂

Yes it is! Too bad they still haven't added a percentage completed indicator.

Don't bother tapping on "Learn More" right now. It leads to a page not found error.

Likely to stay that way until public release in September.

Is too early to say battery life seems greatly improved over Beta 2 on iPhone 15 Pro? It's not draining as fast!

 

[hovscorpion12]

Hopefully early performance judgement is solid.

Hopefully the indexing is a lot faster and doesn’t take a whole week

 

[COBRASVT]

Probably mentioned, but on the lock screen, the icons in the bottom right and left have more glass now. I can see them much better than prior.

 

[S7anley]

Why………. I don’t get the top bars on iPhone. And practically none existing bottom scroll edge effect :/

Clock has been updated 🙄

 

[Sisio91]

That would explain the large update sizes for the 17P + PM!

Not really. It’s 9.5gb on my 16 base model lol I’m on beta 2 already

 

[internet rabbit]

the two ghost notifications in Messages have been fixed hallelujah

It's pretty sad reading here about animations stuttering and icons sometimes not loading. I thought iOS 27 was meant to fix all that. 😔

 

[Rafagon]

Wow.

It's not fair for us to pass judgement at this point. We clearly know it's still in beta testing.

All products need to properly index after installing an update. That applies to beta and pubic builds. It is recommended to follow up either later tonight or tomorrow.
