I may finally jump in and update to iOS27. We are getting close to release now.
It’s been extremely stable for me on my iPad Pro 11” and iPhone 16 Pro. Aside from a couple of minor bugs in messages, it’s been great. The bugs I’ve run across have been cosmetic, and everything is functioning just fine.

Been on iOS18.7.8 for quite some time now and looking forward with a generous dose of optimism on iOS27.
I do hope in reality it's the Snow Leopard optimized iOS26 as has been rumored.
