Apple Releases First iOS 26.3 and iPadOS 26.3 Public Betas

[Reeneman]

I know this is a beta but I feel this is the roughest 26 beta I’ve been on since 26’s release.

All 26.1 and 26.2 betas seemed fine overall.

Now we’re in the new year, I hope 26.3 beta 2 drops next week 😂

How has 26.3 beta 1 been for you guys?

No issues on my standard 13. Don’t see huge differences to 26.2.
Looking forward to the final 26.3 on my main device the 17 Pro.
Hope we see some further changes with the next betas of iOS 26.3, but I guess 26.4 will be the exciting one.

Its messed my car play up. No longer have messages or phone app on 16 plus.

Even after resetting the set up.
Irs all good, id be screwed without maps and music.

Also, destroyed battery life on iPad Air m3.

HomePod minis (don’t get me started) 😂

And yeah, although for me this beta is problematic, my guess is 26.3 is a stability/bug fix release and 26.4 will be the big one.

Hopefully allowing beta users to test siri 2.0 of which I bet will be buggy as all hell during beta phase.

Also I think Apple do these cycles already.

iOS xx.0 new os full of features.

Xx.1 stability and fixes

Xx.2 some more features

Xx.3 stability and fixes

Xx.4 last big set of features.

Xx.5 final stability and fixes (if we’re lucky)

Then it’s time for new OS rinse and repeat.

Has anyone noticed any difference in 48MP photos shot in low light conditions?

Why? How?

If you read the message above, someone has noticed improvements in the quality of low light photos in iOS 26.3 beta. This is part of a discussion on Reddit regarding a photo app which bypasses (or reduces) the overprocessed look of the Apple fusion camera.
