Liquid Glass has been expanded to the Phone app's keypad. This is what Apple calls innovation these days! Pathetic

are you ok my man?

Shocking that we need to wait until 26.1 for that 😄

Haven't had any wireless CarPlay issues on a 2025 Subaru Outback.

Same here.

Release of iOS 26.1 can't come fast enough for this dumpster fire of an upgrade. If I could put 18.7.1 on my iPhone 17 PM, I would.

 

[KevinW23]

Edit: It was a developer beta and not the public one, so I switched to that and it updated.

 

[Astuces iOS]

1.96GB on my 17 Pro Max

I install on my iPad, it’s almost 14gb (I come from iPadOS 26.0.1) I need to test slide over comeback!

I hope this fixes a glaring bug in macOS since 26.1 Beta 1 where any app accessing screen temporarily pauses any fullscreen media onscreen until you move your mouse.

Good, 26.1 beta 1 has been by far the most unstable beta I have been on since first ios 26.0 beta.

• Phone kept ringing/vibrating after I picked up
• Phone was constantly saying it was full because of memory cache taking up to 50-55GB
• fell into diagnostic mode 3-4 times a day
• very buggy in general
  
  (iPhone 16 Pro)

I've had none of those problems.
And I have 26.1 on 3 different version of iPhones.

I’m getting an “unable to verify” iPadOS 26.1 Beta 2 is temporarily unavailable. Try again later, notification when I try to install the update.

You're highlighting exactly how buggy these releases are.

 

[Jay Bly]

That's even more broke. Wireless CarPlay won't stay connected for more than 30 seconds.

I was having that also. Whether it was wired or wireless. Would have to restart the phone and then they would go away.

I solved that by getting an Android phone.

 

[bmark]

are you ok my man?

I'll be ok by iOS 30 when Apple finally ditches liquid ass!

 

[ProbablyDylan]

I sincerely hope it does not take them this long

Hopefully this fixes Wired CarPlay!!!

The weird thing is that ios26 worked well with my iphone 12 mini and carplay. My new iphone 17, not so much. It sure likes to drop, and then magically pick up or have me reconnect and continue on like nothing happened (both with phone calls and music).

Haven't had any wireless CarPlay issues on a 2025 Subaru Outback.

2017 Subaru Impreza with the stock media system used to work well with my iphone 12 mini and iOS26. It does drop every so often with my new iPhone 17.

 

[ScooterComputer]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, MacRumors staff… SPLIT the iOS/iPadOS and macOS releases into separate threads!!! The code bases are NOT close enough yet such that issues can be tracked regardless of platform. Stuffing these releases together in one thread does a disservice to those of us trying to socially communicate about issues and troubleshoot them; it turns into a cross-platform swamp of distractions.

 

[ericg301]

does this fix the Apple Intelligence bug? it just disappeared on my iPhone 17. waiting to download.

 

[RumorConsumer]

Tell us all the things you wacky beta users. Battery help?

 

[centauratlas]

8.86GB for a dev beta 2 (17 Pro, non-max)

Mine was similar on a 17 Pro Max. I was coming from 26.0 released versions

 

[Séamus Boyle]

this is still present in beta 2 for me.

 

[Phazer]

Sounds like a good update! Looking forward to it.

 

[SebCohen]

Possibly won't be fixed in 7 years time when iOS 27 gets released. (Yeah yeah, I'll see myself out)

I think there are irreconcilable differences between Apple and Siri.

 

[AUGUSTU5]

iPhone 15 pro here

Much lower Single Core and Multi Score scores than previously. Let it sit for 2 hours in the corner, so it can process the update.

Geekbench 6 CPU
Previous:
- Single Core: 2924
- Multi Core: 7323

26.1 beta 2:
- Single Core: 2049
- Multi Core: 6408

Speedometer 3.1: 23.0 (on iOS 18: 28.3)

The UI itself feels neither worse or more performant. Just as a bit buggy as before, if you would ask me.

Update. Nevermind.
