iOS 26 Speculation Thread

Will 26.5.2 be for all flavours or just the 16/17’s again?

Being the gap between this potential update and the last wide scale release (26.5), I would guess it would be all devices that support 26.X.

 

[yeahtyeaht]

Seems like no update today

I did my part I upgraded to 26.6 beta 2 in hopes to force 26.5.2 LOL 😂

Give it a few more minutes, but yeah, I'm not feeling optimistic about today.

Hm… seems my mood and Apples mood are not in sync.

How’s your mood today?

26.6 beta 3 also out

Wow, this is a nice suprise from Apple. I hope 26.5.2 is better than 26.5, or else I'll go to 26.6b3 on my daily iPhone 🙂

watchOS 26.6b3 is also out.

Installed on my iPhone 17 Pro and iPad M1 Pro without problems.

So looking back 18.6 beta 3 was a B build and then went to RC, 26.6 is a D. So on the fence if next week is RC or beta 4. I hope for the RC personally, but I lean towards it being a beta 4. Then the RC the following week. Seems like we are almost at the end of the major releases for 26.X.

Well here is hoping to something this week, the RC would be nice to obtain......

 

[gtmead09]

Beta 4 out......

How is beta 26.6 so far?

How is beta 26.6 so far?

Speed-wise? Faster and smoother than 26.5 (and any previous 26 release), with occasional stutters and lags but overall it's better I think.
Battery-wise? Still trash - for me.
