iOS 27 Public Beta Reportedly Coming This Week

[ReadyPosterOne]

Will it be a battery killer?

It’s still a beta, so yes.

While it is tempting to install the beta, don't think I will do it. Eagerly waiting to try out the new features.

I have 27 on three iPads: a Gen 9, an Air, and a Mini. No dealbreakers. I like choosing less transparent LG and the rain option in Weather. Just got Siri from the waitlist yesterday, and haven’t played with it much. It truly is like Snow Leopard—refinements not overhauls.

I hope before the final, they put it back the way it was on ios 26, where, if you have liquid glass set to ‘more tinted’, that fullscreen shadow doesn’t crawl up with the notifications on lockscreen when you swipe up. I hate how that looks. Since 27 dev beta 1, the shadow is enabled, regardless of where the liquid glass slider is. The point of having the transparency option, is for readability and we don’t need the dark shadow under the notifications, when it’s set to Tinted.

I have this feeling they are going to keep it, even though it makes no sense. I haven’t seen anyone else mention it.

In the USA the week traditionally starts on Sunday. Rest of world and business world it’s Monday.

The calendar week starts on Sunday in many, many more parts of the world than just the US.

It’s biblical. It’s why the Jewish sabbath is on Saturday. Rest on the 7th day (Saturday)
Most Christians observe first day sabbath. (Sunday)

Monday is just the beginning of the work week. But many companies use a Sunday-Saturday workweek for payroll calculations.

I skipped the betas the last two years but ios26 performance has been so poor on my iPhone 15 I decided to get it since so many people have said it’s better. They’re correct, it runs so well it makes iOS26 feel like it was a beta.

I really think ios27 is a big improvement performance wise. If it’s already like this on Dev beta 3 the final release should be even better. Feels like how it should’ve been running in the first place.

This just made me realise why in portuguese saturday is sábado 💡

Europe here. My calender and week both start on monday. And I am eagerly awaiting the public beta!

Besides all AI bs that I don't really care, DP3 seems improved the memory management quite a lot.

Multiple tabs in Safari, especially browsing Twitter with YouTube PiP playing, will definitely crash in iOS 26 on my A12 iPad Air. But that never happened in iOS 27 DP3.

DP4/PP1 certainly won't worse than that, right?

oh, Gurman is saying this week? Is that Gurnman intel or the fact it's been around this time every year?

I'm not typically one to install betas anymore, but the battery life on 26.5.2 is leaving A LOT to be desired on my 17PM. So I'll probably give it a try...

The first public betas of iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate, and more will be released this week, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. This aligns with Apple's promised July timeframe.

If you have an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, the key new feature is Siri AI, but there is a waitlist if you want to try it.

Fingers crossed its today (monday) im desperate to move my homepods to 27.

Because reliability between homepod OS 26.6 (latest public beta) and 27 dev beta 3 is very hit and miss.

Im kind of hoping its 26 being the weakest link here.

Hello Monday. Looks like they’re doing a couple other ones today. Before ours. Maybe tomorrow?
