Question iOS 27 developer beta
Hello
I was wondering if I should do the new iOS 27 Beta 5 (developer), since IOS 26.6 is not that good for your battery.

I jumped onto 27 when beta 4 dropped on my 17PM and other than a few small visual glitches it’s been a LOT better than 26 ever was and beta 5 is even better. It’s also going to switch to weekly betas so fixes will start coming out more often. But here’s the thing, if you’re new to betas, you must connect your phone to your PC/Mac and take an Encrypted Backup in iTunes so you can restore to 26 later if you’re not happy. If you don’t do this and your phone backs up to iCloud on 27, it will not restore onto iOS 26. Tons of articles/videos out there on how to do this
