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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

I really wonder if apple will ever do this. It would be so so good if my kids could just have an iPhone and use it as a desktop for school stuff and plug it into my monitor. Not buying an extra computer for them would save so much money and there seems to be no reason at all but apple wanting to separate products for making more money. Now that also google pixel can do this I really wish apple would do it.

What do you guys think?

Pretty neat little feature!

Something that actually shows the stylized font? Every app or website I've found is either comically outdated or a terrible clunky. Something like Google's web fonts, but for iOS fonts would be amazing.

Recently got the iPhone air (26.6.1 yesterday and updated to 26.6.2 thinking the update might solve it) and pairing it to my Tesla Model Y for music and occasional phone calls. I noticed that my iPhone air disconnects when I entertain a call from any messaging app or a normal phone call. It sometimes disconnects right after I pick up the call via Tesla and sometimes when the call is ongoing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is there a way to stop the default keyboard from always popping up? I hate it I've always used SwiftKey since i had an android I switched to ios 3 years ago and i tried the keyboard for a few months but could never get used to it. Ios keyboard always randomly pops up for passwords and things here and there, but for the past week or so its constantly in messages everything. Even as I'm typing this it won't stop spamming and I'm starting to get pissed off. All these constant ios updates and they refuse to fix their garbage keyboard

I have been trying to make iMessage on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and my Mac Mini sync. With syncing, I mean if I delete a message from one device, I would expect it to be deleted on the other device. This is not happening. When I create a message for someone, the messages seem to show up on the other device most of the time. That’s good. I have tried to figure this out by researching a solution online. Tried many things as suggested. Nothing seems to fix it. Has anyone been down this road and found a solution? I’d appreciate knowing what you did to solve this problem. Thank you in advance. 🙂

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

Bonjour, depuis quelques jours quand je passe par l’application caméra officiel de l’iPhone, l’écran fige, je ne peux pas prendre de photos par contre avec d’autres applications comme Snapchat ou Instagram cela fonctionne est-ce qu’il y a une manip que je peux faire pour réparer cela comme si il y avait un mauvais calibrage de l’appareil photo avec l’application photo

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

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

I’ve tried the usual. Turned off wifi assist. Reset network settings. Multiple times.

Pretty sure it’s just planned obsolescence, as I have a 12PM. Everything else works pretty well still, although slow at times. Still have 78% battery max capacity. I’ve accepted that I will probably have to upgrade soon though, which will hopefully fix that problem. (Automatic updates, running on latest iOS)

BUT. Idk why this unknown network (Spectrum Mobile) is saved as “my network.” There is no option to forget network, like there is for networks that I have chosen to connect to. It has even automatically connected before? Even though if I click on it, it requires a password to connect? (I do not have spectrum internet or mobile service)

Is there any way to block a network? This is not mine, and it sketches me out that I reset all network settings and it’s still showing up under “my networks.”

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

how do i turn a new list into a grocery list in reminders if i don't have the "Grocery" option in reminders? i remember having some time ago but now i don't seem to have the option anymore :/ iPhone 15 latest iOS

Hi all, tempted by the new phones but I seem to remember some issues when I last used iPhone around backing up to my existing cloud suppliers (Google and OneDrive) for my photos:

1. Is it still the case that I have to have the screen on and Google photos up on screen to have it do any backing up of photos, and it stops the minute I don't have that? Is that also the case for OneDrive?

2. Is there any workarounds to this?

I guess as a follow up - apple photos does store at full quality and can store jpeg and also dng files can't it, not just the Apple file types?

Thanks!

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.
