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:

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.

I was trying out the new Coding Assistant recently using ChatGPT. It didn't do the best job so I went in and changed most of the code around until I was happy with the result.
The one thing I didn't notice was it also decided to credit @nicklockwood for the work.
So uh, thanks?
You claim to have a device that can transcribe words as you think them, the accessibility implications of which are incredible, but you spend your whole presentation on this bullshit.
For years I've tried and failed to fix this bug in ShapeUp but today it has finally been squashed!
Concave corners now inset correctly and beautifully even with reflex angles! This is only in the dev build now but I'll get a new update out soon (with lots of other cool features for drawing shapes in SwiftUI)
Today's attempt to fix a bug by rebuilding concave corners did not go well.
There's an in person #WWDC25 event in Toronto on June 27th. Sign up now and I might see you there!
(lots of other cities seem to have similar events)
