I know the are no new iOS updates, but I can no longer check for them. No developer options available after yesterday. FWIW, I have a paid developer account.

Great to see the Appleseed Program is sticking around. It's my understanding that Feedback is supposed to be prioritized from folks in that program as opposed to the regular Dev Program or the regular betas..

Here's some more about it-

I need to know if OKTA, Slack and the Chase app work before I install. Can someone test these?

Chase is working for me.

Battery life still very rough the next morning. Lost 15% in one hour. First time having battery anxiety on a 16 Pro Max with 100% battery health.

It was the same last year. It will be fine once the next beta is out.

I don't remember it happening last year, but I'll take your word for it. 😀👍

What do you think this is? Android? You'll get four apps and like it! 😆

That's a jail break app I truly miss. Putting multiple apps on the bar and being able to scroll across to them.

I have the same problem on my iPad Air M2. I installed iOS 26 on my iPhone 15 Pro last night and check for updates showed the normal iOS 26 Developer option when I looked at it earlier this morning, but now I get the ‘try again’ prompt as well.

I have this on iP16PM and iPad Pro M4. I’m sure it will get straightened out.

I will say the DB’s seem to have settled down this morning. Much less lag and less weirdness.

The usage app is reporting iPadOS 26 as being iPadOS 19. Somewhere within the OS, it’s still listed as the next incremental update…

That’s why they should use Notepad to code. Find All + Replace.

Again... Every apple's change lockscreen I see it...

Is it just my 15PM that's VERY slow with the update? It's impossible to use, update done yesterday.

Recent Emojis don’t show.

Day 2 on iPhone 16 Pro Max and it’s running just fine. It’s hard to know how much the battery is draining because I’m still clicking around and looking at things that I normally wouldn’t. I think tomorrow when I am at the office and occupied, I’ll be able to get a better read on the battery impact.

Apple Music’s best EQ setting, “Late Night” is no longer on the EQ list.

My phone has settled down somewhat as well. Temps are way down and the slider to adjust the lock screen clock font thinness actually started working for me this morning. 😄

Apple discovered that you liked that setting and said, "Well, we'll see about that."

Bug on iphone 16 pro max. After updating my bluetooth connection with my car on my 3rd party lenovo screen doesnt work. It shows connected but i cant speak on the phone through the car. Not car play (just bluetooth). Tried restarting, forget the device and reset network settings but nothing changed. What to do?

It’s been moved.

Trying to determine any impact on battery right now would be a fool's errand. With all of the extra indexing and logging it's doing, not to mention all the new APIs that may indirectly impact apps already on the phone.. Just wait two weeks and update to beta 2, and it'll start all over again.

Wait for gwhizkids to do it. He’s the goat.

I don't think they'll be around these parts anymore :-(
