The beta came out. There is no point in saying anything about it.

Focus is prob on security and bugfixes on 18.7. That can of course affect how it work in both positive and negative ways. Haven't had much report from users regarding 18.6.2 regarding battery or any other issues.
Won't update to iOS 26.0, will most likely wait for 26.1 or when support for iOS18 is being dropped for devices.

It didn't come because people on old phones didn't risk updating to 18.6.2 like me. Someone here on the forum complained about fast discharge and heating because of this update. Also on YouTube on the Applebits channel in battery tests this version of iOS gives a worse result than 18.6.1. Moreover, on more modern iPhones, on the contrary, the battery has higher scores.
