Am I being tricked into installing iOS 26

Maybe I'm missing something, but on every device I've owned I've always been prompted to enter my pin before installing an update.

You are missing that with automatic updates turned on the iPhone will automatically update over night if it's connected both to the charger as well as Wi-Fi. It waits for a couple weeks before it attempts the automatic update. If you don't want to wait for the automatic update and choose to install it yourself then you'll always be prompted for the passcode.

Honestly, if the user has automatic updates enabled then it’s their fault. Not much defense for them there if they want to stay behind.

I tried betaprofiles and it worked again (I remembered it was stopped few months ago). I am on 18.7.8 any way.
