Everything New in iOS 27 Beta 5

Apple's iOS 27 beta 5 introduces redesigned Liquid Glass icons for Safari, Siri, Settings, Remote, App Store, and Preview, expands on-device Siri AI voice customization to all seven American and four British voices on iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air, and adds features such as company names in Contacts, Apple Wallet Create a Pass outside the U.S., and a toggle for Mail's Personalize Smart Replies. The beta also includes minor changes to Search, Control Center, Clock, and Battery settings, and brings 5G+ to Spain.

We're a little over a month away from the launch of iOS 27 https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-27/ , and Apple is continuing to make changes. The fifth beta of iOS 27 changes the look of some app icons and adjusts Liquid Glass, plus it adds some smaller features that make the iPhone just a little nicer to use. App Icons There are updated Liquid Glass icons for Safari, Siri https://www.macrumors.com/guide/siri/ , Settings, Remote, App Store https://www.macrumors.com/guide/app-store/ , and Preview. Some of the icons have been entirely redesigned, while others feature more detail than before. Siri AI Voice Customization Voice customizations for Siri AI have been expanded, and Pace and Expressivity can be adjusted for all seven American voices and the four British voices. Siri AI voice customization is done on-device, so the feature is limited the iPhone 17 Pro https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-17-pro/ , iPhone 17 Pro Max, or iPhone Air https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-air/ . Contacts If a contact you've created has a company associated with it, the company name will show in the contact list under the name and in search. It makes it easier to see more information on a contact without having to tap into the contact card. Create a Pass The Apple Wallet Create a Pass feature is now available outside of the U.S. Splash Screens Apple added splash screens for the Photos https://www.macrumors.com/guide/photos/ , Wallet, and Music apps, explaining what's new in iOS 27. Search and Ask Apple made minor changes to the animation when bringing up Search or Ask. The suggestions interface now comes up as the search bar does rather than popping up slightly afterward. The search interface also now has a "Search the Web" option at the bottom of results that was not there before. Apps in Search You can now decide whether search should show app results, and if so, how many. You can turn off app results, have it show four apps, or have it show eight apps. There's also a toggle for showing app shortcuts. Control Center When connected to Wi-Fi, the Control Center no longer shows information on cellular connection. The iOS 27 Control Center in beta 4 5G 5G+ is now available in Spain https://x.com/ifrnb/status/2086880920703803528?s=20 . Software Updates When you look at your software version in Settings General About, it now tells you when the last update was installed. Clock There is a thicker font for the Alarms and Timers section of the Clock app. Liquid Glass The clearest Liquid Glass setting is clearer than it was in the prior beta. Mail There's now a toggle for the Personalize Smart Replies feature in the Mail app. It's off by default and can be turned on in the Mail section of the Settings app. Battery The Battery section of the Settings app will now let you know if a poor cellular connection is causing battery drain https://x.com/creativeaarush/status/2086896295369904637?s=20 .
