It's amazing that when something isn't working for a user, it's always the iOS version as the reason. There are literally millions upon millions upon millions of users roaming the planet with iOS 27 running on their iPhone, with no issues whatsoever. I happen to be one of them without any issues.
What you need to determine is why YOU are having an issue.
Did you for example do a Force Restart after you updated? I do this after EVERY iOS update without fail or issue --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
Next, you have an iPhone could be at least 3 years old at this point, which could mean your battery is failing and when a battery is failing, things don't work optimally. Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health - if it is shown as 80% or less, the battery is failing and needs to be replaced in your phone.
And Storage running low can always cause things to go wrong, so open Settings > General > iPhone Storage - how much storage is available out of the total storage which the phone came with? You should strive to have 12 - 20GB for space available at all times and if you don't, you need to delete things which could be slowing your phone down and causing things to not work as they should.

Hello,
iOS 27 is working just fine on the majority of iPhones.
If you clearly define your problems, perhaps someone can help:
