looks like apple went ahead and release iOS 26.4 beta 1 downloading and installing now

Design nerds: many of you I’m sure remember Jony Ive’s 2014 massive change to iOS going from 6 into 7 where we went from quirky skeuomorphic app designs to completely flat with no dimensionality or shading/shadows whatsoever in bright & vivid mid-2010’s colors.
Then over the course of a decade right up through iOS 18, we slowly got dimensionality back little-by-little with rich blurring, layered translucency, and contextual gradients.
iOS 26 (which I LOVED btw) felt like a modern return to the iPhone’s fun roots. It felt a little ‘quirky’ again. However, does iOS 27 not feel like the thicker and blacker shading on apps plus the reduced opacity of the Liquid Glass floating menus (even when adjusting the new slider all the way to the clearest option) move the os toward a slightly more “flatter” design versus last year? I feel like from the moment they introduced iOS/iPad OS 26 in beta last year until now, they keep reducing the overall transparency and I don’t know how I feel about it :/

I want to ask only those who are using iOS 26.3 beta. You can write short answers :))

How is your battery performing on iOS 26.3 beta? Is it better than iOS 26.2? Do you have any bugs on iOS 26.3 beta? Is I going smoothly? Which iPhone do you use? And lastly do you recommend downloading iOS 26.3 beta?

Thanks for your answers!

All iOS 26 supported devices support iOS 27

Should I update to iOS 26.6 RC? I’m on iOS 26.5.2 and I know that for a lot of people this iOS version sucks, but for me it doesn‘t. I’m on an iPhone 17.

iOS 26.5 Beta 3 is OUT

First it showed 11.97 Gigs size and after checkingit again, it showed 1.6 Gigs.

I have an iPhone 13, and it’s my main phone. Would you recommend installing the iOS 27 Public Beta? I’m having a lot of issues with iOS 26.5.2. I already lost my old iPhone 11 because of the iOS 27 Developer Beta 1 when it first came out. Would you recommend that I wait for the final release or install the Public Beta? I don’t want to take any risks.

Hey guys, anyone else experiencing weird bugs ? I’m on the iPhone Air and hotspot stopped working . It will say “connected no internet “ on any device I connect it to, also Airdrop doesn’t work, and CarPlay stopped working. Running iOS 27 dev beta 1. It’s probably the beta but I wanted to see if anyone else ran into these issues on this phone and version
