Apple Seeds iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 Release Candidates to Developers and Public Beta Testers

Nope not true, people are already saying that the bugs they had on beta 3 are still there and not fixed. They said this rc only fixed background things.

I haven't installed it, so I don't know how it actually runs, but a couple people in this thread alone mentioned it was running pretty well, and that's with less than 30 posts (including repeats from people). Much higher percentage of people posting positive things about updates than normal. Just try to have a little optimism once in a while. Cheers.

iOS 18.7.3 RC is available for everyone on iOS 18 !

Be wary of the notification pop up after you request to update via the software update in system settings.

It’ll ask if you want to update. Don’t confirm it if it pops up as a notification when your phone is locked or using another app . Apple sneakily updated my phone to iOS 26 instead of 18.7.2 when I did. Still a bit pissed off about it.

Stay strong on iOS 18!!!
Never ever update to iOS 26, it will brick your phone.

SO True !!!

Don't worry buddy, if we enable iOS 18 betas, iOS 26 will never show and you will stay on 18 !

I’ll write a couple hours in. Everything seems about the same. Battery life seems the same speediness and readiness and animation seem about the same.
