I've made a simple demo app and added it to my Apple Feedback. Here's another video with a very simple example. Again the first phone is iOS 26.5 and the second is iOS 27 beta 1 (beta 2 doesn't have the fix yet either)

Example app is here:

Did you catch the WWDC Swift Group Lab session? It was great!

But, there wasn't time for all the questions. So I copied them down and took a shot at answering some.

(Some) Unanswered Swift Group Questions

Here's my attempt at answers to some Swift Group Lab session questions that there wasn't time for.

IPA pronunciations are broken in iOS 27.0 beta 1!

If this doesn't get fixed before release every audio pronunciation for over 4000 words in the Wordhord will be broken and my users will be very disappointed.

It seems like iOS 27 is just ignoring any IPA symbols and attempting to speak the remaining characters.

Please share with any AVFoundation Apple people you might know.

OK, so my post has finally appeared. Having no way of confirming your post has been sent (supposedly to moderation) is really unhelpful. Also, no replies yet 🤷‍♂️

Looks like the .systemExtraLargePortrait widget introduced last year for visionOS is coming to iOS and macOS this year.

I've just tried posting to the Apple forums Audio Q&A and after I hit submit my post is just missing. Is this normal? Is there a delay while they review? I don't see my post anywhere even when looking at my own profile.

I'm long out of my Apple fan era, but seemed like a reasonably good #WWDC keynote to me. Most things seemed to be sensible tune-ups. Major complaints are the slop generation upgrades, and more tools for invasive parental surveillance which make kids ask permission to access LGBTQ+ resources they need.

There's no way I would trust an AI to tell me if a bunch of objects in a photo will fit in a bag. #WWDC26
