- 2:48Safari gains Adaptive Dark Mode, with vertical tabs demonstrated on iPhone Duo and iPad.

Sending a reaction in Messages becomes a Siri test in Brandon Butch's latest Apple Weekly. Expanded App Actions are his pick for iOS 27.3's biggest feature, but he starts with something less flashy and rather more familiar: changes to the keyboard's key padding.
"iOS 27.3 - Biggest Yet!" drew the largest audience of his five uploads this week, reaching roughly 176,000 views. The walkthrough moves from typing and Safari's Adaptive Dark Mode to Apple Music's Selfie Sing karaoke feature. On the watch, Live Rewind can transcribe the preceding few seconds of audio. Butch also reports better battery life and performance on the beta than he experienced on iOS 27.2.
The comments have a practical streak. Viewers discuss the keyboard adjustment, ask for a number row and debate whether Apple should keep both the Action button and Camera Control. Those button-removal possibilities remain rumors, not announced changes.
Hardware supplied the other half of the week: two iPad mini colors, an M6-versus-M5 MacBook Pro comparison and a substantial HomeView setup and review. HomeView is currently drawing views much faster than any other individual upload on the channel, with facial recognition, guest mode, Siri and speaker testing all on the agenda.
Across the channel, daily views are slightly below their usual level and subscribers were unchanged over the week. Nearby-sized tech channels Switch and Click and Insert Richie had busier viewing weeks. For Butch, the immediate momentum belongs to taking HomeView out of its box and finding out what it actually does at home.

I accidentally press the camera button more than I thought I would. They should remove the camera button instead of the action button
