iPhone 16 — Wi‑Fi and 5G show as connected, but there is no internet after iOS 27 Beta 4
Hi everyone, Since updating my iPhone 16 to iOS 27 Beta 4, I’ve had a serious connectivity issue. Both Wi‑Fi and 5G/4G appear connected, but Safari, the App Store, and every other app fail to load anything. Occasionally the connection works briefly, then stops again. I have already tried restarting the iPhone, toggling Airplane Mode and cellular data, and resetting network settings, but the issue remains. Has anyone else experienced the same problem on an iPhone 16 with iOS 27 Beta 4, or found a workaround? I’m considering restoring the phone to the public/stable release. Similar Wi‑Fi and cellular-data issues have been reported by other iOS 27 beta users.

Intune pushes the IOS DDM policy (to push version 18.7.8 to devices using 17.X, with a set deadline) to iOS devices using cellular networks
Intune pushes the IOS DDM policy (to push version 18.7.8 to devices using 17.X, with a set deadline) to iOS devices using cellular networks. However, the update fails to succeed. A pop-up window appears indicating "Download and Install", and clicking on "Download and Install" shows no progress bar. But if the device enables Wi-Fi, a progress bar will appear for the download and installation process. I would like to confirm whether there are any restrictions on DDM pushing system upgrades to devices currently using cellular networks.

External Display Issue on macOS Golden Gate 27 Developer Beta (M4 Pro)
Hello everyone, I am currently running the macOS Golden Gate 27 Developer Beta and am experiencing an issue with external displays. I am only able to connect one external display successfully. Any additional external displays I try to plug in do not work or are not recognized by the system. Here are the details of my setup: Mac Model: 16-inch MacBook Pro (Apple M4 Pro, 24 GB Memory) macOS Version: macOS 27 Version 27.0 Beta (Build 26A5353q) Displays: Two LG UltraFine 5K Thunderbolt displays Connection Type: Connected directly using two separate Apple Thunderbolt 4 cables Troubleshooting steps already taken: Restarted the Mac Tested different cables and ports Verified both displays work individually (only fails when both are connected) Has anyone else encountered this issue on this specific beta build? If so, have you found any temporary workarounds? Side note: Feedback Assistant was not working for me. I tried it in the Web, and the native App, neither of them would work. I am posting here because there was nowhere else to submit this bug report.

iOS 26.5.1 Wi-Fi cannot be turned off
When the device leaves the range of a known Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar does not disappear, and the device fails to switch to LTE/5G, resulting in a loss of internet connectivity. Turning off Wi-Fi via Settings or Control Center does not resolve the issue either. Only restarting the device fixes the problem. Network settings and general settings have already been reset. The issue occurs on an iPhone 15 Pro and an iPhone 17 Pro. Is there a solution? Apple Support has suggested the troubleshooting steps mentioned above as well as an exchange of the iPhone 17 Pro.

Corespotlightd Using Significant CPU In 11.2.2 (20D80)
Hello! I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing a significant CPU drain from Spotlight (specifically corespotlightd) in macOS 11.2.2. Since updating to macOS 11.2.2 any time that I access spotlight using Command + Space Bar I immediately experience a system wide lag. Viewing this in Activity Monitor I see a %CPU spike of corespotlightd in the realm of 200-400%. that last for anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds. I have sent this in through Feedback Assistant, but no other reports seem to have been linked to the radar. I have attempted a few different fixes as well: Terminal killall corespotlightd resolves the issue momentarily, but does not fix long term Restarting computer does nothing to solve Re-indexing spotlight does not solve I have also disabled more advanced search functions (Bookmarks and History, Contacts, Events and Reminders, Fonts, Mail & Messages, Music, Siri Suggestions, and Movies are all disabled) - This did not fix the issue. I have also disabled search for external hard drives which also did not solve the issue. Open to any other suggestions for fixes, or if anyone else has a similar issue. Mac mini, 2018 (2020 release), 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4. External GPU Radeon RX 570 4 GB.

Final Cut crash on public beta
On one week old iPad Air M4 I installed iPadOS 27 public beta, and before that I installed developer beta. I tried using Final Cut Pro but every time, regardless of what I’m doing it crashes after 30-40 seconds. Can this issue be caused by beta and if so when will it get fixed?

iPhone 17 Pro Max CarPlay Audio Dropouts/Lag in BMW iDrive 7 - Does iOS 27 fix this?
Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a very frustrating issue with wireless CarPlay. I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max and I drive a 2023 BMW 420d Coupé equipped with iDrive 7. The audio frequently skips, lags, and drops out when streaming music. I've read some rumors that the upcoming iOS 27 update might finally address this bug. Since I know the public beta is currently out, has anyone testing the iOS 27 beta on a similar BMW setup noticed if this specific audio skipping issue is actually resolved? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Digital Services Act in "In Review"
Hi everyone, my Digital Services Act (DSA) status in App Store Connect has been “In Review” for over a week. Is this normal? The app is already available in 178 countries, but it can’t be released in the EU (my home market) solely because this DSA isn’t approved yet. How long did it take for you? Is there anything that helps speed up the DSA review? Thanks for any insights.

Apple Home missing Wind/Rock Mode controls for Matter Tower Fan
Hi Apple Home Team, We are integrating a Matter-enabled Tower Fan with Apple Home and have observed that the current Apple Home UI does not expose all the capabilities defined by the Matter Fan Control cluster. Wind Mode Our device supports the following WindMode values: Normal Natural Sleep However, Apple Home does not provide any UI to view or control the Natural and Sleep wind modes. Only the basic fan controls are available. Rock Mode (Oscillation Direction) Our device also supports the following RockMode values: Off Left-Right Up-Down In Apple Home, we only see a single Oscillation toggle (On/Off). There is no option to select the oscillation direction (e.g., Left-Right or Up-Down). Could you please clarify: Does Apple Home currently support the Matter WindMode attribute of the Fan Control cluster? Is the current On/Off Oscillation control the expected behavior for devices that support multiple RockMode directions? What is the recommended approach for Matter devices that implement multiple RockMode values (e.g., Left-Right and Up-Down)? Are there any plans to add native UI support for Wind Mode and Rock Mode direction selection in a future Apple Home release? Thank you for your support. We look forward to your guidance on the recommended implementation for Apple Home. Thanks, Chintan Patel

Implementing referral program
