Is it just me or is clicking “iOS 27” on iPhone showing upgrade screen for 26.7?
rconti 54 minutes ago||
Yes, it does 26.7 -> 27 sequentially, IIRC.
jjtheblunt 4 hours ago|||
same. and at the bottom it says "Also Available : iOS 27" with a button which leads right back to iOS 26.7.

Same, but I clicked it, awaited the update, and I'm on iOS 27 proper now-- so just a visual bug.

> just a visual bug.

Out of the gate, that isn't a good sign.

Same here. Will upgrade and hopefully 27 will show up!

If it does then do much for focus on quality in this release…

Same here. It’s over 5 GB, therefore is not 26.7. Upgrading, let’s see.

I'll stay w/ Sequoia as long as I can.

I definitely wanted to skip Tahoe by any means and was reluctant about this new version. I recently installed it because the wm I was using (omniwm) wasn't compatible with Tahoe anymore so I had to choose. I have to say it has been completely usable to me after reducing the liquid glass thing as much as the system allows.

I am currently on Sonoma and I was considering to upgrade to get the things that I missed in these years. I think and hope that macOS 27 will be faster wrt Sonoma...

I jumped from Ventura to Sequoia when 26 was first released, and I can safely say it's been around the same.

I'd probably make a similar leap to 27 when 28 gets released.

Sequoia it's quite fast and stable.

Also, I really really really abhor the new UI.

lukifer 4 hours ago||
Same. In addition to UX regression, we’re two major revs in, there’s nothing that’s a compelling enough value-add to be worth the trade-off, let alone the risk of unexpected side effects on any OS upgrade.

On my Xcode dev machine, I’ll be biting the bullet soon out of necessity, but my personal machine will stay Sequoia until they course-correct on “style over substance” (and not holding my breath).

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-...

New Siri is not available in the EU. And no plans to change that.

I'll probably switch to Android once my phone and watch batteries degrade enough to annoy me

There's approximately zero chance Google would go along with the changes that Apple would have had to make to support EU's DMA.
albumen 4 hours ago||
As a European, and Apple household: no new iPhone Duo, Watch or iPhone 18 Pro Max purchases in this house until Apple desists with its malicious campaign to break the DMA. I'll get by fine with other AI products in the meantime.
theshrike79 3 hours ago||
You do know that Google is fighting the same DMA rules as Apple?

They need to similarly make Gemini hot-swappable to anything on Android and don't want to.

Apple was just first because they're a bigger and more visible target.

I take it this is the one that tosses out Rosetta 2 on macOS?
bayindirh 4 hours ago||
Nope, that's macOS 28.

> Rosetta is available for any Mac with Apple silicon using macOS 27 or earlier. Starting with macOS 28, the next major macOS release, Rosetta functionality will be available only for certain older, unmaintained games that rely on Intel-based frameworks.

Sauce: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102527

i wonder if M7 will not have elements in it that help with x86 to ARM on the fly translation that M1 had now that macOS 27 and beyond is ARM only with no Rosetta
bayindirh 3 hours ago||
I bet it will, because cross-platform virtualization and containerization is a boon for Apple. Also, Rosetta will stay for older programs (esp. games) and some Intel specific frameworks per Apple's docs.

I bet with all the transistor count increase, that circuitry is a blip.

asimovDev 3 hours ago||
oh right, forgot about virtualization. Apple probably still need those customers that spend half of their day in Parallels Desktop
bayindirh 3 hours ago||
Also, being able to run x86 Linux binaries is important for developers:

The warning dialog I received the other day while running macOS 27 Beta said that it will be removed in macOS 28.

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.

prymitive 3 hours ago||
27 got the slider so I though: finally I can turn it off even more. Turns out the max value of the slider is what toggling “less Liquid Glass please” was already doing in 26. But at the same time they modified it and now it somehow looks eee worse? I don’t know whst they did but it’s just looking less readable, at least in dark mode.

And the worse thing about LG is the floating bottom nav bar that keeps shrinking to an icon when you least expect it, moving all elements.

MacOS 26 forced me to give up spotlight for Raycast. It would do this thing where new delayed results would steal highlight focus so hitting the enter button to select something from the list became a lottery. Would you select the thing you see or would something else replace it in the time you press the button.

I use Raycast now and it's 1000x better simply because it actually selects the highlighted thing.

I’m adding representation to an issue that I hope is fixed:

for the last couple months I’ve been able to record videos and watch those videos but am unable to share them, whether on instagram, whatsapp, airdrop or imessage. some limited luck saving the same video to the file system and sharing from there

searching this issue is notoriously difficult, and there is one partially related thread on Apple support forums talking about spacial h264 and spacial h265 video codecs further complicated by being wrappers, with something suggesting the latter is the issue, the final post having a bewildered user asking for clarification that the iphone can create videos that even it cant use

I looked in my camera settings and there are soooo many switches and file formats now, that its impossible to know which edge case has been run into, and there’s no reset button to put the settings back to their most compatible

I hope this OS refresh fixed that

note, this only affects some videos and the common denominator is not obvious. all videos are recent and made in the same timespan. some are sharable some are not

> unable to share them

What does "unable" mean?

yieldcrv 4 hours ago||
on instagram, tapping the thumbnail has no user feedback and is never selected

on whatsapp, tapping the same video thumbnail results in a "preparing media" modal that never ends, until pressing cancel

on airdrop, a similar preparing model appears that never makes any progress and only has a cancel button

on imessage, tapping the same video thumbnail results in a circular progress bar overlay, as if it was downloading it from icloud, except it never finishes and was never in icloud

unable
