Apple always needs some time, to update their devices. For now, Apple uses the newest Thread protocol with Thread 1.4.
But I wanted to share the discovery here.

Is this a new megapixel selection in Camera? Also, every icon with Liquid Glass effects was changes slightly, tweaking shadows, but you can only notice it if you compare them side by side

If you have RAW-Format enabled, you see two options. My design hasn’t noticeably changed since Beta 1.

Found another change.
If you go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap > Double Tap / Triple Tap the Selection menu got completely redesigned. I don’t know in which beta they changed it, but it’s new.

Great article, yeah! But what I meant was that when I changed my App Store account’s region to the US, I got iPhone Mirroring. It isn’t blocked because of my location, so I’m not sure why it’s still location-restricted for you.

My friend made another found. Yesterday he bought an iPhone Air. The Wallet App has a new Discover Option in the •••-Menu. My iPhone doesn’t show this option.
I can’t tell in which beta they added this, but we found it in iOS 27 Beta 4
As always, you can use my images

Yeah, you need to sign in to the App Store with a US Apple Account on both your iPhone and your Mac. Then it should work.

I’d like to thank @Kingdando and @javisx for the great contributions they’ve been making to the forum. Your discoveries and the way you share them with the community are truly valuable. Please keep exploring new features and options, and continue sharing your findings with all of us!

Thank you so much! But the biggest thanks should go to @betaprofiles and @KingDando. They’re working incredibly hard!

I’m excitedly waiting for Beta 5 to be released this afternoon, hoping it finally gets rid of those “annoying noises” that disrupt the system’s overall continuity and smoothness—especially the Bluetooth-related ones.
I also hope this release delivers the most polished experience yet, including improvements to battery drain and overheating during normal, everyday use.

True! Waiting…

Welcome @Kirill_Bessmertnyi !!
Strange that Apple skipped releasing iOS 27 Beta 5 on Monday or Tuesday… and gave us new AirPods firmware instead.

I agree, it’s a bit unusual. Many of us expected iOS 27 Beta 5 on Monday or Tuesday, but Apple surprised us with new AirPods firmware instead. Hopefully the beta is simply taking a little longer because they’re polishing some important fixes and improvements.

I think they’ve finally managed to push people’s patience too far. You can’t leave beta testers waiting three weeks when there are this many performance bugs, severe battery drain, and Continuity and Bluetooth issues.
If beta testing becomes this frustrating and unreliable, many of us will simply stay on more stable builds instead of installing the latest betas. That means fewer active testers, less real-world feedback, and ultimately a worse development and feedback cycle for everyone. Beta testers understand that bugs are part of the process, but timely updates and communication need to be part of that process too.

Those of us outside the United States already get a diminished version of Apple’s ecosystem. Many of the features announced and showcased at WWDC either arrive much later in our countries or never become available at all. We pay comparable—and often even higher—prices for the same devices, yet we don’t receive the same functionality or overall experience.
When you combine that with increasingly unstable betas, long waits between updates, and poor communication, it becomes much harder to justify testing these releases and providing Apple with free, valuable feedback. Apple risks alienating precisely the users who are most willing to test its software, report problems, and help improve the final product.
Sorry for repeating myself.
I think iOS 27 Beta 5 will finally arrive this week. At this point, it really can’t be delayed any longer.
In his latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman suggested that iOS 27 development is nearing completion. I think Apple will save any other major new features for updates like iOS 27.1 or iOS 27.2, meaning the upcoming iOS 27 beta releases will likely focus mostly on bug fixes.
Also, I personally suspect that Apple may have discovered an exploit involving the MobileGestalt file in iOS 27 betas and is actively patching it, which could explain the delay in releasing iOS 27 Beta 5.

Thanks for sharing this information and for keeping us updated. The explanation about the possible reasons behind the delay is very interesting, especially the MobileGestalt angle. It’s always useful to have this kind of context while we wait for the next beta. Appreciate the contribution!
I wanted to take a moment to recognize the outstanding work behind BetaProfiles.
The speed and accuracy with which new releases are tracked, the quality of the information provided, and the effort made to keep everything clear and accessible have turned BetaProfiles into an invaluable resource for those of us who follow Apple’s software cycles closely.
The attached Beta Timeline and Release Lifetime charts are excellent examples of that work. They transform years of release information into clear, interactive visualizations that make it easy to compare beta intervals, understand complete testing cycles, and see how long each public release remained current. This provides genuine historical context and allows release patterns to be examined through actual data rather than speculation.
Creating and maintaining a resource of this quality clearly requires an enormous amount of work, research, time, dedication, and attention to detail—and none of that effort should go unnoticed.
BetaProfiles has become one of the most reliable and useful references within the Apple beta community. Thank you for the exceptional work and for the care and commitment behind every update. It is genuinely appreciated.
