It has been incredibly stable on all of my devices. I installed yesterday right after the event and I have not put my 16 Pro Max on the charger since and it is still at 65%.Wonder if the first build is stable or very buggy

I had the same message and assumed the servers would be overloaded. Today, the message didn’t appear and the „Beta Updates“ option returned.Yeah I see that in mine as well there is no developer option there anymore I wonder how they will fix it
Yeah, I was wondering about that. I charged it to 86% then went outside mowed for four hours while listening to music and it didn’t drop at all when I got done after four hours. It was still at 86% so I’m not sure if the battery indicator is working correctly or what. My Ultra Gen 1 went from 100% to 63% during the same time frame.It has been incredibly stable on all of my devices.

Yeah I just saw that thanksI had the same message and assumed the servers would be overloaded. Today, the message didn’t appear and the „Beta Updates“ option returned.
feel like a reskinned Sequoia so far, it’s nice, some weird choices here and there, but seems like a sequoia update, not complaining, just happy is stable.Stable. Same as Sequoia so take that was you will. There aren’t any real changes outside of UIkit being remodelled. Outside of graphical bugs with the kit itself, everything works just as well as Sequoia.
It pretty much looks exactly like iOS 18 except with the new button styleWho’s gonna show us the looks of the iOS 26 Books app? Much appreciated!![]()

It is working just fine, I was at 90 something percent when I installed.Yeah, I was wondering about that. I charged it to 86% then went outside mowed for four hours while listening to music and it didn’t drop at all when I got done after four hours. It was still at 86% so I’m not sure if the battery indicator is working correctly or what. My Ultra Gen 1 went from 100% to 63% during the same time frame.
It does show OS version. -m3 returns Build twice.thanks. it's cleaner but unfortunately doesn't show osversion number
here is a further improvement which also shows version number
Code:for file in $(curl -# https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-16beta-1.sucatalog | grep com_apple_MobileAsset_MacSoftwareUpdate.plist | grep -Evw '(com_apple_MobileAsset_MacSoftwareUpdate.plist.integrityDataV1)' | sed -e s/"<string>"//g -e s/"<\/string>"//g -e s/\ //g); do curl -s $file | egrep -A 1 -m 3 '(>Build<|OSVersion)' | sed -e s/"<string>"//g -e s/"<\/string>"//g -e s/\ //g | sed -e s/"<key>"//g -e s/"<\/key>"//g -e s/\ //g echo $file | sed -e "s/com_apple_MobileAsset_MacSoftwareUpdate.plist/InstallAssistant.pkg/g" done
so all i did there was replace your -m 2 with -m 3
ohIt does show OS version. -m3 returns Build twice.

Thank you for the screenshots! Looks like Apple still has a lot of work to do for the experience, for example making the books in ‘continue’ way bigger than those small tiles.It pretty much looks exactly like iOS 18 except with the new button style
I have an old iPad mini 2, that I still occasionaly use to read books and watch Netflix. it has a total of 16 GB. Albeit, I can't run anything past 12.5.7 🤷♂️Geez... 16GB. We've come a long way. How much storage did we have on the first iPhones?
Welcome to early middle age, where we like things to remain relatively predictable. Come on in, there’s plenty of room. 😌My days of dropping early betas on the daily driver are over. I’ll see you in late August.
Same here..there are bugs, but don’t seem any more than public beta when it comes out. Jury is out on battery drain thoughI know there's a lot of complaints on these boards, but I swear my iPhone 16 and M1 MBA are running as fast as ever, maybe faster.
The Beta is great so far... I am unimpressed by the glass theme overlay on backgrounds and images Control Center and some functions like widgets on the home screen are impossible to read
Apple today provided developers with the first betas of the new iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26 Tahoe, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26 betas for testing purposes.
![]()
Registered developers can download the new beta software through the Settings app on each device.
Apple's software updates include many of the new features that were shown off at today's keynote event, with Apple rolling out a new Liquid Glass design aesthetic across all of its operating systems. You might also notice that Apple has changed the way that it numbers its updates, bringing more cohesion to the lineup.
There are a slew of new features to go through, so stay tuned to MacRumors in the coming weeks for hands-on footage, guides, how tos, and an in-depth look at everything you'll want to know about the new updates.
While today's betas are designed solely for developers to give them time to learn the new features and adjust their apps, Apple will provide public beta testers with a chance to try the software in July. iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, watchOS 26, and visionOS 26 are set to launch to the public in September.
