iOS 27 received a lukewarm response in last week’s poll, with users generally expressing that it is merely "okay." While the overall sentiment among iPhone users leans slightly positive, many chose not to select the "love it" option.
This release primarily addressed issues arising from the major Liquid Glass redesign and aimed to fulfill promises related to AI features that Apple has been discussing for some time. Recall the Apple Intelligence demonstrations during the iPhone 16 launch? Siri's enhanced AI functionalities are set to debut later this year, likely alongside the release of the iPhone 18 Pro models.
For those excited about AI, there is currently a waiting list for access to the revamped Siri, even for users on the iOS 27 beta. This means the marquee feature of this release isn't quite ready for mainstream use, leaving users with what feels more like a "maintenance" update – not exactly thrilling.
Nonetheless, the "love it" votes outnumbered the "hate it" votes by a 2-to-1 margin, indicating that some users appreciate the new version. Improvements such as the ability to adjust alarm and ringtone volumes separately or to access the Control Center from an external display may seem minor, but they resonate with certain users.
