Again, the day one update could just be equivalent to current build from whatever they got at the factory which is likely to be older than 26.0.1.

The day one update/build was released today; it's 26.0.1. If there is a 26.0.2 update coming, why didn't Apple just have that be the day one update?

On the 22nd, users will be updating their new devices to 26.0.1...and historically, Apple has released the x.1 update the last week in October. I don't think Apple will be pushing out three updates within a week.

What would 26.0.2 include anyway? Are there still show stopper bugs that are preventing users from using or setting up their new iPhones?

The last beta wasn't even an "a" build. I guess they will release B4 next week and maybe RC in the same week? If not, we could see 26.1 on 3rd November.

Exactly, which means Apple can still release 26.0.2 any time before that. I would not expect 26.1 beta 4 and RC in the same week, though, so I guess we will have:

20-21 Oct - iOS 26.1 Beta 4
27-28 Oct - RC
3 Nov - iOS 26.1 goes public.

Regarding 26.1 RC: next week might be a bit optimistic, based upon some of the comments from other beta testers. (I haven't had any specific problems with the current beta myself, but maybe that's just me.)

Next week would actually be right on time for an RC. That puts the release another week out so Oct 27,28 for the actual release which is right in the x.1 timeline. I guess potentially they could go with 26.0.2 so its out for 2 weeks before 26.1 drops. Really depends on what is in it and perhaps whatever fix is in it is not critical and could wait for 26.1.

I agree. Last year 18.1 RC released on October 21st (Monday) so it's just about time.
