From my understanding. Apple has three separate OS 26 builds being worked on.
  1. Revised 26.0.1 build
  2. 26.0.2 build
  3. 26.1 beta 3 build
This is causing an issue internally and mostly likely the team is not focusing on 26.1. Rushing to get 0.0.1 and 0.0.2 released in time for product launches “next week”

What revised 26.0.1? 26.0.1 is released and done.

The rest is normal software development. I bet they are working on even more branches like 26.2 and 26.3, maybe even fist 27.0-concepts.
Software development does not work „one-after-the-other“, you’re working on different branches of your software in parallel.

Force close safari and it fixes it.
Force quit and reopen works for tabs already open but not new sites opened. The whole status+toolbar dark translucent background’s missing except after force quitting. Also, sometimes the full-size toolbar doesn’t collapse into the mini url bar when scrolling up.

There's a "supposed reliable" leaker indicating that Apple is internally testing a revised 26.0.1 with build# 23A357. [supposedly related to the M5 iPads this week and for those who have not yet updated past 26.0]

This is how they always operate, they also have 26.2, 26.3 and (most importantly) 26.4 in testing.

I’m seeing stutters when opening Safari from the dock often. Hopefully gets smoother once the indexing is done.

Edit: Other apps as well.

Edit 2: Went away after a nice soft reboot.

I don't understand how icon redraw is still an issue. Is freshly drawing icons every time really less computationally expensive than caching them when the wallpaper changes?
The problem with caching is usually knowing when to invalidate the cache. Maybe they aren’t confident about that.

I think this person was referencing that it's rumored that iOS 26.0.1 will be re-released as a revised update, so iOS 26.0.2 won't necessarily be released as the next update

Apologies for the confusions.

Yes, it is obvious that most [if not all] companies have multiple software branches in development & testing. What i meant is that given reports of three OS build releases in short term, what one build fixes is still broken in another.
