Sorry, I should have been more clear. BigMcGuire posted that his Air was 12.79 GB, but, my Air was only about 2.6GB. I get what you are saying with apps, but, almost 10GB difference? I also have Apple Intelligence enabled.
No problem here, went smoothly for me, sorry to read you guys having an issue, hopefully it will get fixed soon.

Ah, I see. Well, I can only speculate, but another factor is which exact version you’re upgrading from (beta, .0.1, whatever). Personally these differences isn’t something I would worry about at all. Devices rarely have identical configurations (that’s also why many reported bugs only happen to some users, not to everyone), and Apple likely is trying to optimize what needs to be downloaded for each individual device.
What model are you using? Worried about starting update on 17PM if that seems to have most issues during install.
Updated. The issues I have previously had with bottom navigation bars in Safari are improved, but not fixed. Jfc how difficult is this to sort, Apple?! Instead of floating halfway up the page they now only float maybe 20 pixels or so.
Apple software team is inept at all levels!
Yeah, iPhone Air has been stuck on a full bar completely installed for the last 45 minutes.
I've had numerous issues with my iPhone Air connecting to my 2025 Honda Passport... I usually have the disconnect and re-connect it at least once a day. It's very finicky on the connection. When I updated my previous iPhone 14 to iOS 26 before my Air purchase I had none of these issues. I sure hope this update helps.
Can someone please tell me why MacRumors obsess over file sizes of updates? Most will have unlimited data plans and if the size of the update is a major problem then you should be clearing out unused files/data or upgrading to a larger capacity device.
Hopefully this fixes the battery issues on my phone. I don't know how prevalent battery issues are in 26 though, so it might just be me. When I am using it, I can almost watch the battery percentage drop.
Because you're screwed if you have your storage used up with onboard music or photos/files.
Having iOS run up against storage limitations is a NIGHTMARE.
