Reminder to wait a couple of months before upgrading macOS! Every single time issues are found after a new macOS version, give it a little bit of time before jumping right away on your work machine :)

I feel pretty good about the 27 series in a way I haven't in the past (I've been running iOS 27 and it's working well), except for one thing, they remove x86 support (no more Rosetta), so just keep that in mind in case that might disrupt anything for you.

Rosetta is still present in 27.

So what's your experience in terms of speed and battery life with iOS 27 on the iPhone 13 so far? I have a 13 mini, and I still haven't gotten over the (perceived) shorter battery life with iOS 26.

Upgrading the battery on my iPhone 12 Pro has been a fucking revelation. I just don't run out of battery any more. I'm sure Apple was telling me it was only 20% degraded or something too, but I would strongly, strongly recommend this if thinking about battery life is currently an issue for you.

That could be a factor for sure, but this iOS upgrade basically broke mu iPhone as switching between apps got noticeably slower and sometimes the UI gets stuck for a second or two especially when switching between the camera and other apps. I'm so sorry I gave in and installed it.

I keep getting so many warnings about this though - maybe I'm misreading it? is 27 the LAST version with Rosetta maybe?

How is the keyboard broken? Maybe I'm so used to whatever it is that I'm blind to it.

(adjacent to keyboard) It has no way to select all text. That makes the whole platform a toy.

It used to be there but a few releases ago the option disappeared.

Updated my iPad to iPadOS 27 and disabled Reduce Transparency because I figured that they’ve fixed Liquid Glass.

The notifications on the lock screen are still completely unreadable. What the fuck is Apple doing?

Can’t even be happy about the bug fixes because my biggest one, Spotlight not getting keyboard focus when you use it, is still present.

Was just looking over the Safari 27 release notes¹, which is part of macOS 27, and noticed this: Web Driver New Features - Allow your agent to connect to a Safari browser for development and debugging via the Safari MCP server.

This MCP server for Safari is pretty neat. I think I'm going to start automatting some tasks for our corporate websites.

Can I have my square corners back, please? And while you're at it, add sorting by alphabet in the WiFi networks list. Maybe even a filter field (I know, too advanced, but hey...) And perhaps make the "System Settings" window scalable horizontally? No? OK, I'll skip.

you can add square corners with a terminal command afaik https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/want-the-bigger-window-...

My iPad 2021 10.2" was flawless but some weeks ago it was updated to iOS26 by mistake and it became so slow on basic stuff (like showing the keyboard). Made me terrified of doing any upgrades
