So odd
Smaller brother ( 17 pro, mine ) only shy of 2GB
But the main question is what version are you coming from?
I come from 26.1
Updated and everything is working the same as before as far as I can tell. For me that's a good thing because iOS26 has been basically flawless.
*The only issue I had was this one: "Fixes an issue where pre-release albums in the Apple Music library were not immediately playable at their release time". That happened when I added a pre-release album to my library. I had to remove it and then re-add it for it to work. Other than that, no problems.
Someone high up in engineering must be going on a long weekend vacation tonight ! ‘Just get it out!’
have they fixed the “look at this amazing wallpaper” bug that appears every time I try to unlock the phone?
Instead of apps, I get a full screen view of the wallpaper. Very practical

Is the battery life better? Is their new modem firmware for T-mobile in iOS 26.2?
Well I can't imagine it'll somehow get worse... what usually happens is it gets better than what it is right after you update.
I wonder what Apple does when they receive bug reports like these. Do they even spend time trying to figure out what's wrong, or just immediately toss them out?
This screenshot alone does not indicate that's there's anything wrong. Messages take up the full screen and scroll behind all the UI elements and keyboard. That isn't a bug. If the last few messages are stuck behind the keyboard and can't be scrolled up, then that's a problem...but there's no way to tell that from the screenshot.
fyi 2.04 gb on iPhone SE (2020) - I suppose there is less wrong with this iOS on older phones
It was around 2.85GB for my iPhone 14 PM too, so I guess I feel the same way about mine.
Well, that is the issue. There is no way to view what is behind the keyboard. If I try to drag the conversation up, it rubber bands back to behind the keyboard.
I explained pretty throughly in the report what was going on.

iOS 26.2 is 10.22 GB in install files on my iPhone 16 Plus. That's almost the same size as the update from iOS 18.7.1 to iOS 26.1 on my phone. 😮
Was that offered to you OTA? I am not seeing 18.7.3 for my iPhone 13 Mini and as best I can tell Apple is only offering iOS 18.7.3 for iPhone XS and XR while iPhone 11 and later are required to jump to iOS 26.2 to get the latest fixes.
I would prefer to stay on iOS 18 but I would also prefer not to have these security vulnerabilities to malicious websites/JPEG files/etc.
Why are there so many different file sizes for people's downloads?
Mine was around 3.29 gig or so on a 17 PM.

I have been trying to update my iphone 16P and ipad mini7 through my MAC connecting it with usb cable in Finder (not over the air I dont want that). Mac keeps saying that 18.7.2 is the most current iphone and iPad version, that my software is up to date. We know that’s not true. So I haven’t been able to update these 2 devices ever since 18.7.2 came out. I escalated to apple 3 weeks ago and they have no clue. Still pending engineer investigation. Am I the only experiencing this? Any ideas or solutions ?
I installed the RC last week. Same build number as what was released today.
Interesting as I have had the opposite problem. My Mac only offered iOS 26 when all I wanted to install was 18.7 (on an iPhone 13 Mini running 18.6.2).
