I haven’t installed an #iOS beta in years, but when #iOS27 beta comes out I’m installing it immediately, assuming it focuses on stability and performance.

@edfloreshz that's not what any beta version is about…

@kkarhan I’m sure it’ll perform better, even in its beta state.

@edfloreshz iOS 26 was the first beta that broke my over 10 year streak of installing iOS betas.

@edfloreshz It's also the first major update that I **regretted** installing afterward. I even tried to go back to iOS 18, because the keyboard was SO SLOW on iOS 26 (and still is, I make way more mistakes).

Of course, going back to iOS 18 meant I couldn't restore from a backup I had created, so I had to go back to iOS 26...

@ryanabx iOS 8 was pretty rough as well iirc

@edfloreshz sure, but I was a kid back then and installing updates that made my system slow was completely fine for me back then.

Also, it wasn't nearly as bad as 26 in terms of being slow where it really matters.

iOS 7 was the weirdest (and first) beta update for me.

@ryanabx Same for me!
