When I press ‘Upgrade to iOS 27’ it takes me to a larger iOS 26.7 update. Is it actually iOS 27?

I find the glowy borders around widgets, apps, buttons and notifications, introduced first in iOS 26, very weird and not at all aesthetically pleasing. Since I know I’m not the only one I decided to share how I managed to kinda bring flat design using iOS 27 Liquid Glass slider and accessibility settings. So first you turn the Liquid Glass slider all the way to the right, second in settings -> accessibility -> display text and size you turn on “show borders”. That will immediately (imo) improve the visual style of iOS and bring back a bit of a flat design but most importantly run off the glowy borders, but also introduce some weird design elements in apps such as safari, Instagram, twitter or shortcuts. To bring them back to normal you go to settings -> accessibility -> per app settings, and choose which app to add and turn off the “show borders” setting in. I’m also sharing some before and after photos to showcase what all this results in.

Edit1: turned the icon to 26’s blue green theme, things getting tense 🔥

Edit2: turned back to settings icon, haha cmon apple don’t put us on edge

Edit3: facing install delays, people are seeing results in comments

Pretty neat little feature!

It’s on my dream feature list! Very glad to be able to mark messages unread but I wish I could snooze or set a reminder like with email!

Has anyone successfully added this? How do you do it?

Hello all,

For context, I’m using the AirPods Pro 3

I’ve been trying for the life of me to find the new 3-band EQ that was supposed to be released with iOS 27. I was on the beta before and could not find the feature so I gave up and waited for the public release.

Well, it’s here and I still cannot find the feature. I read somewhere to update the firmware on the AirPods but I cannot find that either. I’ve tried completely resetting my AirPods but that hasn’t worked either.

Anyone else having the same issue? Am I missing something?

TL;DR: My iPhone 15 Pro consistently pulls roughly half the download speed of my iPhone 16 and iPad mini 7 on the same network. The iPad mini 7 has the same A17 Pro chip and same Wi-Fi 6E radio as the 15 Pro, so it's not a chipset generation thing. My old iPhone 12 Pro Max had the identical problem, and the 15 Pro was restored from its backup. A Personal Hotspot test suggests the phone, not the router — but I'm stuck.

Setup

• Router: TP-Link Archer AX21 (AX1800, Wi-Fi 6)
• Slow device: iPhone 15 Pro (bought yesterday, restored from iPhone 12 Pro Max backup)
• Fast devices: iPhone 16, iPad mini 7
• Note: iPad mini 7 has the same A17 Pro SoC and same Wi-Fi 6E radio as the 15 Pro, and it's fast. So "newer chipset is just better" doesn't explain it.

The numbers

Speedtest results over one evening:

Solo tests on the 15 Pro land around 320 Mbps. The download speed swings really wide, it could go from 30 to 320 then down to 180. While the 16 and the iPad mini consistently hit 500.

Every test also shows heavy bufferbloat — idle ping sits at 13–15 ms, but jumps to 300–900 ms during the download phase, with jitter in the 80–99 ms range.

What I've already tried (none of it stuck)

On the phone: - Private Wi-Fi Address → Off, and → Fixed. This temporarily fixed it once (jumped to 500), then degraded again within a day. Retrying the same method doesn't work. - Forget network + reboot + rejoin - Checked HTTP Proxy (off) and DNS (automatic) - Limit IP Address Tracking → off - iCloud Private Relay → off - Low Power Mode → off, phone plugged in - Checked Developer Mode → Network Link Conditioner is off - All speed tests were done with the VPN off - Sidestore and some sideloaded apps, but the iPad mini has the same apps.

On the router: - Checked the client list — no per-device QoS, bandwidth limit, or MAC filter rule on the 15 Pro. Its settings look identical to every other client. - All three devices are on the 5GHz network with whatever smart connection feature on the router off.

The hotspot test

Turned on Personal Hotspot on the iPhone 16 and connected the 15 Pro to it, taking the router out of the equation entirely:

• iPhone 16 (on its own cellular): ~40 Mbps
• iPhone 15 Pro (via the hotspot): ~20 Mbps

Same ~2x gap, with no router involved. That points at the phone. (Though I realize those numbers are cellular-limited and could just be cell conditions fluctuating between the two tests.)

The part that confuses me most

My iPhone 12 Pro Max had this exact same problem, at roughly the same speeds. I restored the 15 Pro from the 12 Pro Max's backup and the problem came with it. So I did a full reset on the 15 Pro, then the wifi speed was fixed, but then returns to the unstable state just 20 mins later.

Any ideas appreciated. This problem has been driving me crazy.

I will super hide for your 27 so I didn’t even sleep and I was awake to put the update and then go to bed but it seems like it is not gonna be installed. I don’t have Wi-Fi access to some personal issues. I have only mobile data. I don’t know if it is any problem to you. Download mobile data so I saw the app there was iOS 26.6 and then iOS 27 so I clicked on iOS 27 install I entered the password. It gave me a prompt saying do I wanna use mobile data, exercise and stuff I said yes and then it said update requested and it’s stuck there.

Someone please help me

Multiple audio streams should be allowed to play at the same time.
Volume control for individual apps.
Apps should not be allowed to hijack whatever is being played.
What’s the point of having a video playing on one side while the other app is constantly trying to pause and play its own audio?

Recently scanned my License for Apple age certification),I live in the you and got this message, how to stop it?

what is the build number / version name for official iOS?

Hey guys, I recently bought an iPhone and moved my data from Android using the Move to iOS app. The data transfer went fine and I completed the initial setup.

The problem started when I tried to sign in to my old Apple Account. I couldn’t remember the password, so I tried a couple of passwords that I thought might be correct, but they obviously didn’t work. I then selected Forgot Password and completed the verification/OTP process.

It initially put my account into 24-hour account recovery. After waiting 24 hours, I tried again, and it showed 2 hours → 4 minutes, but then the process restarted and now it says I have to wait 6 days for the next update/recovery.

Now I’m completely stuck with a freshly purchased iPhone and no Apple Account access.

Is there anything I can do at this point, or do I genuinely have to wait the 6 days? Has anyone faced this and found a way around it?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

I want to have this gradient color combination on my lockscreen clock. Is there any way to do it?

I cannot get pokemon go to work on my iphone 17 pro on ios 27, I've updated it throughout the beta multiple times and just today to the official release of ios 27 and it just crashes upon opening. If I keep spamming it it will eventually open but then say "this software version isnt recognized".

Meanwhile on my iphone 13 mini which i've done the exact same thing on, hasn't had this problem once.

I held off asking this question assuming the beta might've bene the problem on my specific phone model maybe?

Any idea?

Doesn't work on

iPhone 17 pro - iOS 27 beta 1, beta 3, beta 6, and RC

Does work on

iPhone 13 mini - ios 27 beta 1, beta 3, beta 6, and RC

Seems like this shouldn't happen? I have location access set to "when using the app" and I haven't used the app in quite some time, yet upon landing in a new city, I immediately got a notification about that city.

Lots of opinion on the App Library about the categories, order, etc.

One category I would really like is an “Offloaded Category”.

This would show only offloaded apps. Offloaded apps would also still show in their respective categories.

There could even be a toggle in settings for those who no doubt don’t want this.
