iOS 26 Speculation Thread

[john991]

Just sayin it could be RC. (I know… not a chance some will say). 2 previous x.3 betas only had 2 betas and RC)

 

[john991]

See you all Monday next week.

For RC. 🤣😜

 

[GreaTskY_PL]

See You Tomorrow 😅

I hope they are only doing two things. Bug fixes, and working on Siri (26.4?)

18:43 in the UK and no IOS goodies from Cookie and Co. Absolutely disgusting. I'm off to buy a Pixel. I'm done.

Not tonight, Josephine. (if you know, you know!)

PS. And please don’t forget to call in janitorial staff to thoroughly clean and polish the beta button so that I can press it tomorrow. It got exceptionally dirty over the holiday break. It was so bad I couldn’t bring myself to press it today. So please be sure that it’s clean, polished, and ready for me to push tomorrow at 10:00 AM prompt Cupertino time.

Best
Tim

I honestly don't care about any 26.3 beta. just give us 26.4 betas 26.3 has nothing exiting

 

[rdinterman]

Hope I’m wrong, but I am really thinking Monday for the next 26.3 beta.

 

[Reeneman]

So the feeling for today isn’t that good?

 

[Kal Madda]

We’ll see what happens. I’m probably about 50/50 on whether it’s today or Monday. 👍🏻

If it’s Monday it could be RC

 

[Reeneman]

Nah not after only one beta. Wouldn’t make sense.

 

[tomtad]

My spidey senses are telling me we're getting a rare Wednesday release

 

[Spocky]

My spidey senses are telling me we're getting a rare Wednesday release

But this is Thursday!

 

[Kal Madda]

Yeah, I’m hoping for a beta today, I guess we’ll see which way it goes pretty soon. 👍🏻

 

[adrianlondon]

My spidey senses are telling me we're getting a rare Wednesday release

I'm also hoping we will get a beta yesterday.

 

[Broken Hope]

18.3 beta 3 came out on a Thursday so it’s possible.
