Must be a typo. It's already in the "preparing" phase for me after less than 30 seconds.

 

[drivth]

Nothing yet for iPhone 15 pro max

Looks like there's a macOS 26.5.1 update out there, too, but I'm not seeing it.

 

[50thanniversary19762026]

Only available for iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Series ?

Idk I have T-Mobile 5G it’s crazy fast doesn’t take long to download, might be the real size lol. But omg it’s so smooth even right after loading into the Home Screen, what!?!

 

[Hamsterhjulet]

Nothing on iPhone 16 Pro yet. Maybe only for 17 seriers?

Yeah nothing on 15 Pro here.

My Mac usually sees it about an hour after Macrumors announces it's available.

Looks like iOS 26.5.1 is only for iPhone 17's and Air - no older devices and no iPad, weird.

Seems that it’s for 17 devices and the air only interesting.

Update 26.5.1 only for iPhone 17/Pro/Max & Air.

Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated? 😁

Hmm. On the Apple Developer site, there are download links for 26.5.1 for models right back to the iPhone 11

But on further investigation, only links for the Air and 17 models currently work 🤷🏻‍♂️

Strange! I get an "AccessDeniedAccess Denied" message when I try downloading for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Why only two betas for 26.6, when iOS 17.6 had four and 18.6 had three?

I meant beta 2 iOS 26.6 and then next update for other devices will be the final iOS 26.6 update in a couple weeks etc
But who knows with apples schedule

 

[drak22]

I suspect that we might see beta 2 of 26.6 next week, or maybe even a week after they release the first beta of iOS 27.

I suspect not next week for beta 2. Either this week or week after WWDC…
