Main summary

Key takeaways

Product Review

Product reviewed

  • Apple iOS 27 (with related updates iOS 26.7 and iPad OS 27)
  • Tested using about 24 hours after updating.

Key features mentioned (iOS 27)

  • Mentions a broader iOS 27 feature set, including:
    • Siri AI
    • A “liquid glass” slider with intensity control
    • Other unspecified improvements
  • Apple TV is being added to iCloud Plus (along with Apple Arcade):
    • Expands to 100 more countries
    • Coming to Pakistan (not a device setting—news item).

Battery life (first impression after ~24 hours)

Reported results

  • From Settings → Battery:
    • 91% battery used
    • 7 hours screen-on time

Reviewer’s stance

  • Calls this “good” for a first day.
  • Notes it’s not final, because indexing and background work are still ongoing.
  • Advises that major updates may take ~3 days to stabilize.
  • Expects better battery after 2–3 days.
  • Responds to complaints by suggesting others wait 3 days before judging, since early drain may be temporary.

Performance (iOS 27)

Everyday usage

  • Claims no issues in normal use.
  • Describes the experience as smooth.

CPU benchmark (Geekbench)

  • Single-core: 2676
  • Multi-core: 7535
  • Says the scores are slightly lower than the previous run, but expects they may improve as testing continues.

GPU benchmark

  • GPU Metal score: 26862
  • Described as one of the best.
  • Not a record versus prior tests (their past 27,000+), but better than previous tests.
  • Implies good gaming performance.

Recommendation: should you update?

  • Strongly recommends installing iOS 27, arguing it’s worth it despite early battery variability from indexing.
  • Promises a 3-day follow-up video to re-check battery and performance once things stabilize.

Comparison / alternative: iOS 26.7

  • Battery not evaluated in this video (promises it later).

  • Performance benchmarks:

    • Geekbench CPU:
      • Single-core: 2128
      • Multi-core: 5492
    • GPU Metal:
      • 15377

  • Reviewer claims iOS 26.7 performance is boosted vs 26.6.2 and earlier versions.

  • If you don’t want iOS 27, 26.7 is highly recommended (with the note that battery is still being tested).

iPad OS 27 (also tested)

Features mirrored from iOS 27

  • Liquid glass slider with intensity control
  • Mentions Siri AI and other shared features

Performance benchmarks

  • Geekbench CPU:
    • Single-core: 2357
    • Multi-core: 5848
  • GPU Metal: 1631
    • Subtitle references a prior value of 15992, though the comparison appears inconsistent.
    • Still described as “crazy good.”

Battery life

  • Says it’s too early / not tested properly yet.
  • Battery coverage planned in a future iPadOS battery video.

Overall experience

  • Performance feels nice.
  • CPU/GPU results are described as not average.

Pros mentioned

  • Editable camera control buttons (more customization/professional feel)
  • Good battery on day 1 (7 hours screen-on time; 91% used)
  • Smooth performance in real usage
  • Strong GPU Metal score on iOS 27 (26862), suggesting strong gaming capability
  • iOS 27 described as an enhancement/improvement update

Cons / cautions mentioned

  • Early battery concerns may be due to indexing/background activity
  • Battery impact may improve after 2–3 days, so early numbers aren’t definitive
  • iOS 27 CPU Geekbench scores described as slightly lower than previous versions (even though real-world performance is still said to be good)

User experience summary

After about 24 hours, the reviewer reports:

  • No practical issues during usage
  • Exciting early battery and excellent GPU performance
  • A strong emphasis on waiting ~3 days for a fair battery assessment

Different-speaker views

  • Single speaker viewpoint throughout (no separate speakers in the subtitles).
  • Mentions “people” and comments from others, but those are second-hand perspectives rather than distinct speakers.

Concise verdict / recommendation

Based on ~24 hours of testing, the reviewer finds iOS 27 promising:

  • Good early battery (7 hours screen-on time; 91% used)
  • Strong GPU performance (26862)

The main caveat is early battery drain complaints, potentially caused by indexing, with advice to wait 2–3 days.

Overall: Update to iOS 27 is strongly recommended, with iOS 26.7 positioned as a good alternative if you prefer to wait.
