Interesting... haven't experienced any crashes when using external monitor. Using a 4k portable monitor... plugged in via USB-C, no major issues for me.
Got a tip for us?

I turned this on and it doesn't seem to be picking up my orders. Got an Amazon order and a USPS order, both with tracking numbers in the emails, and nothing in Wallet. Does it give you a notification when it adds them to Wallet?
Sure… here you go!

Very nice change to the Reset Settings screen.
There’s a setting for CarPlay screenshots in General > Screen Capture

Nice new Vehicle Motion Cues customization options in Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Vehicle Motion Cues > Customize Appearance
Don’t think it’s been posted here yet; apologies if it has been.

Hmmm... Maybe it is the mix of software. I was running mainly third party applications.
BTW, I was using a 2010 iMac Core i7, connected to the iPad Pro M4 via USB-C --> Mini-DisplayPort.
Yeah. But it’s missing the rumored Transfer eSIM option that was being floated around a couple weeks back.

That is in, it‘s present during the setup screen. Saw a screenshot on reddit ("Transfer from Android").Yeah. But it’s missing the rumored Transfer eSIM option that was being floated around a couple weeks back.

Thank you! No idea why it turned itself off in the beta but I’m glad I could turn it back on now!
I’m assuming it’s the handwriting feature in messages when in landscape (bottom right of the keyboard).
That sounds like something they would release with the general public version in the fall.Yeah. But it’s missing the rumored Transfer eSIM option that was being floated around a couple weeks back.

Edit: it’s actually there now when you go to add an eSIM. Now it shows the option to add from a nearby Android phone.

The rumor was the opposite, however. That you could move your eSIM to an Android device through the reset menu.
Not sure if anyone’s shared but i can definitely see a little burn in from my home bar now hiding while in apps 😂
I noticed that the entire system lags/becomes sluggish when my battery hits 30% below. I’m using 15PM
I imagine there would be a similar step that would be triggered from an Android phone? But I checked a phone with 18.5 and the Android option showed in the screenshot above was not there so this is new to 26.
My impressions of iOS 26 on iPhone 16 Pro-
1. Battery life is acceptable, not as goods iOS 18 but I would say for me it's like 80-90% of what iOS 18 was.
2. Design is alright, I am kinda neutral to it maybe because it's new idk. There are inconsistencies across the OS like the bottom tab bar in clock app, the current tab selected in shown in "Yellow" Colour like it has always been but in other apps it's blue like Notes. It's unnecessarily bouncy for my taste. I like the Music Player's design and audio mix feature.
3. Animations are choppy and frame drops everywhere even in some light games. I have never seen my 16pro lag before this beta but it eventually settles down. Initial time is rough. On the second day it got better but it's still stutters and lags.
4. AI. I hardly use these features but whenever I did iPhone just ***** the bed. Playground app is like useless to me. So many times it went to generate image but never gave me the result especially on Chatgpt style.
5. Messages app is a hit or miss for me. All the OTP I get from the third party apps never showed up in my notifications. I opened the messages app and it was gone into "Transactions" tab but it never showed up as a notification. Kinda needs fixing a bit. Had to cancel some transactions before I could figure out what was happening.
6. Initially it did overheat a bit but then it calmed down after a few hours. Second day, my phone didn't get hot at all but overall system is slow and janky which is expected as its first beta.
7. Torch toggle is a hit or miss as well for me. I regularly turn on the torch from lock screen and it's like 70% hit or miss. it goes into edit wallpaper section when pressed for turning on the torch. I had to intentionally look for the button and turn it on. It has become a muscle memory for me to turn on the torch but something in iOS 26 definitely had it wrong.
8. Sometimes screen doesn't react to touch. there are a lot of misses on touch interactions throughout OS.
9. Cellular connectivity has also been slow for me as compared to iOS 18. It needs tweaking.
10. Always on lock screen blur wallpaper is neat plus the lock screen depth effect on photos. That (Spacial Scene) was kinda trippy but fun but I don't think I will be using that feature often. Photos apps is like pre iOS 18 which is a relief.
I don't feel like it's a big leap forward. If you were bored of the iOS 18 style design then maybe it's a big deal but I feel iOS 18 looked and felt better (Personal opinion). All this glassy stuff is gonna add more weight on the cpu and gpu imo. It's like an extra overhead with all the new bouncy and glassy animations etc.
