This beta has been the worst of the iOS 27 betas for me on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Maybe ¼ of the time, I'm unable to swipe up out of whatever app I'm in, I'm having to lock my screen and then unlock so I can swipe home again. This "Swipe up" issue seems to happen a LOT.. I'm also seeing an issue with the Messages app with a long extra block border at the top, covering up about half of my top row of contacts. I'm having to tap their name to get into their messages.. Pretty annoying. And yes, I've rebooted my iPhone.

TBH, the last beta ran much smoother for me. Can't wait for the next update.
I would assume we're on weekly updates now, so maybe today or tomorrow?
 
Since Apple seems to like Monday public releases, I would imagine 1 PM Eastern will be 26.6.1. I wouldn't be surprised if beta 6 was either later today or tomorrow since they are going public on the 26 branch.
 
I know it has been kinda covered, but last night I was thinking.

RE: The brief appearance on the developer portal of it being named as Beta 6. My theory is there was a Beta 5 , that was supposed to be released after two weeks, then weekly. We did actually get Beta 6 (two weeks between 4 & 5, and one week between 5 & 6) but they just skipped Beta 5 all together for whatever reason.

Yeah. We have established that even last week haha
 
If the pattern follows last year at all, we should be at weekly betas now, right?
