@gank41, Hey, I just thought of something after @DblHelix mentioned Network Reset. Long shot: Have you tried playing around with the Wired Accessories security settings in Settings->Privacy&Security->Security->Wired Accessories? Try changing the settings, even if it's already set to Always Allow. Sometimes these settings get corrupted and needs a kick.

This was set to Always Allow

I have a couple friends, too, who see the entire year of the "Current" OS as still being in beta testing. One friend will flat out refuse to update for even longer than a year.. Like, he'll stay on the prior version (still updating THAT version) and even wait a few .point updates into the next OS before updating.

Why?

Why do they wait to update/upgrade? Because they're generally dealing with less issues and changes and have a more stable experience. Generally during these times, the prior OS gets more polished and is in pretty good shape.

As long as an OS version is supported by apple, they should allow its customers to install that version … it’s ludicrous to not allow customers to downgrade to the previous supported OS

One could also argue that it’s ludicrous to update to the latest software due to all the bugs reported in these forums. That’s what I’m told, anyway. I’m on the 26.2 RC

It’s kinda laughable how people act like iOS is “unstable” to the point of being unusable. By all means, if you have a high bar for perfection, that’s totally fine, but by most real-world measures, the general public clearly disagrees. These releases ship to hundreds of millions of devices and the vast majority of people update day one without their phones exploding. Yes, there are bugs. There are always bugs. But treating an entire OS cycle like it’s one long beta is more about personal risk tolerance and control than actual instability.

I used to wish so badly that Apple would sign every iOS version so that users could just freely use whichever they wanted… then I became a developer.

Don’t get me wrong, I totally understand the idea and still wish to an extent that there was a little flexibility. But no older than a year. Definitely no older than two.

There once was a time all this wasn’t so niche at all, it was just standard operating procedure. I have to imagine all these people are paying for iCloud or are just content walking around without having a backup? They all forgot what it was like so quickly?

Niche…? That’s not niche… try updating Windows Phone 8 via an M5 Ultra MacBook… now, that’s niche!

RC1 was overall more stable for me on my 17 Pro Max. With RC2, Safari still flickers when switching tabs or profiles, but the battery life is noticeably better. Do you think Apple will push a new build for the public release, and what are the chances of that happening?

I believe there will be a new build today or tomorrow when they officially release 26.2, because both RCs had changelogs and beta labeling. They already did this with 26.1, and the final version was a newer build than the RC and came with the official changelog. Apple itself gives us a clue by releasing the watchOS RC with its official version changelog and without RC labeling, something that should have happened with iOS and other systems but didn't.

Have you forgotten the phone from the head unit and forgotten the car in settings and re-paired?
Click to expand...
I have. There's no reference of my phone at all anywhere in my Stereo's settings. No BlueTooth pairing, because I've been using wired CarPlay. No need to pair with BT.
 
No issues so far. Still some very minor UI glitches but overall fine.
Looking forward to the final release and 26.3.
