They need to address the ongoing issue where is you are cabled into CarPlay and you are on a call it disconnects from CarPlay then reconnects. This has been going on for awhile.

Apple Preparing iOS 26.0.2 Update for iPhones

I've been having this weird redraw issue with opening websites in the background on Safari. It shows this slight line going down into the tab bar for half a second before the tab opens. I hope it's not a hardware issue. Let's hope 26.0.2 or 26.1 fixes it for me.

I have the iPhone 17 Pro Max and I hope the CarPlay bug is fixed. Not even the iOS 26 betas annoyed me as much as this bug.
What if it’s not…
What if it’s not what?
What if it’s not Apple’s software engineers who are internally testing iOS? Maybe it’s Apple’s coffee suppliers, Apple’s floor polishers, or an in-development Apple corporate AI.
I hope it fixes the bug where it looks like the UI was designed by Mrs. Jenkin's 5th grade art class.
This is not good. This would mean that 26.1 is likely pushed to November. I don’t believe Apple will release 26.0.2 and then a few weeks later release 26.1
I’m often finding my 17 Pro Max (on T-Mobile) holds on to 5G UC much longer in places where it usually dropped to LTE.
Thank goodness! Keep them rolling!
Now I just need to push through these updates and hope every piece hardware iOS 26 touched comes out of what seems like eternal beta mode.

Later iOS 26 beta was excellent on my 15 PM. I can't say the same for the release version on my new Air. Constant CarPlay issues, especially wireless disconnects. Seems worse using the Carlinkit 4 in my Santa Fe than it does my portable CarPlay screen I'm using in my older Volvo.
i did and 26.1 beta 2 is much more stable than 26.0.1 for me (iphone air)
Agreed with others, this needs to fix CarPlay, WiFi and Bluetooth. I’ve honestly switched back to FM radio in my vehicle because it is so frustrating. And Apple wonders why automakers are wanting to ditch CarPlay…
If it doesn’t, I’m going to start reporting to the Apple Store to get the hardware swapped until they get the idea.

Absolutely elated to be on iOS 18 still.
What a mess. CarPlay connection issues, of all things?
That alone (carplay issues), all Liquid Glass aside, is a complete non-starter for me.

Stay the course. I do not think the features (when they work correctly) outweigh the sloppy bugs on the watch, phone, and AppleTV.
Definitely going to do that, especially being on all older devices.
(iPhone 13 Mini, iPad 9 and iPad Mini 5)
It's a little humorous how much we talk about the "long term support" as a major positive of the Apple ecosystem.
That "benefit" is reduced quite a bit when Apple does a resource intensive cosmetic UI update and then insists on foisting it on everyone, whether it's a good idea for their devices or not.
These updates can’t come quick enough. The entire lineup of OSses is a complete disgrace. My iPhone camera app won’t open at certain moments to the point where the entire phone crashes, my iMac fans are constantly spinning with not a single app open. We are not even talking about the mess Liquid Glass can be due to massive usability oversights.
These are late alpha versions at best. I’ll learn and not early adopt again.

Auto-update hasn't pushed iOS 26 yet, or even sent notifications about it.
Change updates are the whole number. The point iterations are for bug fixes. They’re meant to be yawners.
apple dragging their feet with these bug fixes seems like getting people to have a fully functioning device is not a priority
Bug fixes are a good thing. So is a $20 bill. I just prefer to not get the $20 a nickel at a time. This iOS needs 26.1 *now* with all the fixes and feature additions they couldn't manage when it was released.
