OK, I updated a little earlier and am trying to update my Watch too. But it seems I now have a Wifi bug on my 17 that I didn't have before: it was downloading the update to the watch, the display turned off, and when I unlocked a little later the Wifi connection was off (and it can't complete the Watch update). Same thing happened again a few minutes after I resumed the Watch update. Be careful out there.
Every year is disaster!
I myself am updating to iOS 18.7.1 and iPadOS 18.7.1 (for now). I may just end up waiting for iOS 26.1 and iPadOS 26.1 coming in circa middle October 2025 before updating my iPhone 16 Plus and iPad Air M3 13" to iOS 26 versions.
Same. Pretty warm on install and a few mins afterward. Must be re-indexing
Now to see if the “re-indexing” keeps heating up my 14 pro randomly doing nothing like it has been since my initial install of iOS 26 and my restored backup. Still waiting for my photos section to show up in message threads.
Hopefully the blurry icons have been fixed as it doesn’t look good

CarPlay using wife's iPhone 16 PM gives a black screen about 1/2 the time.
Knock on wood it has been fine with my 15PM.

Here again. YouTube and the Sky again aren’t updated by the devs itself. They having the standard iOS system overhaul for Liquid Glass. The companies need to update their icons accordingly.

<<For those who are unable to update to iOS 26.0.1, Apple has released a iOS 18.7.1 update.>>
You mean for those who want no part of iOS 26. I bought my first Apple product in 1995, a Power Macintosh 8500. This is the first time in 30 years Apple has released something so bad and perplexing that I will walk away rather than accept it and pretend to like it.

For what it's worth, I am having the same WiFi disconnect issues with my 17 PM as I did before this patch. Switching off DHCP to a fixed IP fixes the issue.
How can you proclaim how "bad and perplexing" something is when you haven't used it? iOS 26 is good, especially now that 26.0.1 was just released. I have no idea how proclaiming something without any evidence to support it improves anyone's life.
Honestly, I'd bet money that a lot of the rabble about how "bad" iOS 26 is is being posted by AIs and paid-rabble by companies like Samsung and others. Are there bugs? Of course. Is it show-stoppingly bad? Nope. But, would samsung try really, really, really hard to make it seem like the phones will self-destruct in your hands like the Note 7? Of course!
I wonder does that also include iOS/iPadOS 18.7.1?There is a security fix included in the update as well. From Apple:

At least the WiFi issue appears to be solved on my 17PM, CarPlay for me was WiFi related but I will find out for sure this afternoon as I'll be on a trip for like 5 hrs
Stop with the "paid shills" nonsense.
I really dislike iOS 26 too, and yes I have used it as it's installed on my work-provided device. I'm not installing it on my personal iPhone 16 Pro anytime soon because I can't stand transparency in my OS. I don't like moving/shifting rings around my icons and widgets, and I don't want clear animations. The world isn't clear...I don't interact with clear books, my laptop isn't clear, my desk isn't clear, the paperwork on my desk isn't clear, my TV isn't clear, my washing machine controls aren't clear, my car controls aren't clear... I could go on and on.
I don't care what Samsung is doing because I don't pay attention to Samsung. If I was to get an Android, it would be a Pixel.
