A respectable bake. You'd come back tomorrow for another.
Summary
iOS 27 expands landscape mode support to more built-in Apple apps, including Apple Music, Podcasts, Fitness, Health, Reminders, Home, Shortcuts, Find My, Weather, Voice Memos, and others. In Music and Podcasts, landscape is limited to the audio player. Many apps feature a left-aligned sidebar in landscape, and the Messages app now allows collapsing the sidebar to show only names and profile pictures. This update comes ahead of the anticipated 'iPhone Ultra' release.
