Yes. Those posts are so annoying.

At 1 second past 1:00PM/EST “I DON’T SEE IT YET! HAS ANYONE SEEN KT YET!!!!??”

And those dreaded messages / threads saying "downloading...." "Updating...." and "Installed...." and lastly "What the heck!? I didn't ask for this? I am going back to iOS 18"..

TYOOL 2025 and supposedly tech-savvy people on the MacRumors forum still don’t understand CDN propagation.

This update needs to happen soon. I'm in a horribly boring meeting and updating 9 devices would give me something to do.

I’d argue that not many people on here are all that tech savvy, they just like Apple products and services.

Do you see Sequoia 15.7 or nothing at all on your MB?

100% agree. I've been in them since 9am. I think 99.999% of the time it's people who have no real job or skillset so they create meetings to "play pretend" like they're some real value to the company.

Meanwhile those of us with tons of work to do that we need concentration for suffer endlessly.

Spoke too soon. I am on the RC with Beta Updates disabled and IOS 26 just showed up in “Also Available.” I have a 15 Pro. I am going to install it and use it for a bit and let y’all know if it is improved.

Wow I’m disappointed and annoyed why release two different updates at the same time 🤷🏻‍♂️. Only wanted a bigger clock but it doesn’t work with custom backgrounds that is beyond stupid 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Update: it is more stable, and the glitches I reported seem to have been fixed.

On a side note, I tested FireWire compatibility on MacOS 26. It looks like Apple completely removed the functionality.

I use FireWire to access my old Macs in target disk mode. I do a lot of retro computing so it is a bit important to have the ability to do this on my daily driver laptop.

In the meantime, I am going to stick with Sequoia and look for an older MacBook to utilize for talking to my older machines.

I am extremely disappointed in Apple. This is extremely anti consumer of them and I doubt it would’ve cost them much to continue supporting FireWire.

I don’t mind sticking with Sequoia
