For anyone with wired CarPlay crashing issues on a 17/Air/Pro:
In my testing, the only cables that WON'T CRASH:
If your car has USB-C, use the Apple USB-C to USB-C
If your car has USB-A, use the Mophie USB-A to USB-C that Apple and Amazon sell.
Anker cables simply no longer work. It crashes for me every few minutes.With the Apple cable in one car and Mophie in the other, the crashes completely stopped.
The only other USB-A to USB-C cable that worked for me was a really short red and white OnePlus branded cable.
As for wireless CarPlay, no issues with a BMW, and a Pioneer DMH-WC5700NEX headhunt wired or wireless.
Carlinkit adapters continue to crash sometimes, I have not tried in a while though.
I am NOT on the beta as I have seen more than enough evidence that the CarPlay bug is not entirely fixed. However, this should hopefully help you, cable wise.

My personal phone is still on iOS 18, and my old phone is on iOS 26.1 beta 3 and my work phone is on iOS 26.0 I think (it might be 26.0.1).
I say this because although I’ve experienced the 26 betas on my old phone, I’ve not actually used the phone app on it.
On the public release of iOS 26 that I’m using on the work phone, there seems to be an issue with the new unified view in the default phone app. It’s not shown missed calls in the app, nor voicemails. No badge on the app icon to notify me, nor any notifications on the Lock Screen. Call screening or whatever it’s called is off. I changed it to classic view yesterday and suddenly the app icon had a red numbered badge on it and I go back into the app and see missed calls and that I have a number of voicemails, some going back to 8 October.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there some setting(s) in the app that should be set in the unified view to show everything? (I’d have thought the default settings should have been to show everything..!)

Yes, it seems if you have unified versus “classic” view you won’t see any indication that you have missed calls unless you specifically go into each category and look. That’s why I’ve stuck with classic view; however, if you have “Unknown Callers” enabled under filtering even in Classic view those calls will be put into a separate Unknown category with no indication that they have come in unless, again, you go looking for them. So I’ve turned that setting off as well. Even though I don’t want Unknown calls to ring, I want to know, without having to hunt, that I have had some.
Genuine question for the community.
I spent the last 4 hours at 4 separate Apple Stores in my state with over 10 iPads [iPad Pro, iPad Air and iPad Mini] and 15 iPhones [iPhone 17 & iPhone Air]. All running on OS 26.0.2.
At no point in the 4 hours of playtime, was I able to replicate any of the bugs and glitches users have been reporting. Either on Macrumors or Reddit.
This includes
1. Safari Stutter
2. App redraws
3. Safari status bar bugs
4. keyboard
5. etc
I used them both connected to a keyboard and without the keyboard.
My question is. How is it that the general users of MR and Reddit are reporting all these bugs, but the 10+ products I stress tested were flawless. What does the products in the Apple Stores have that the general public don't have?
It made me double guess holding off from updating my iPad to OS 26.
EDIT: All products ran the latest public OS build of 26.0.1

Off the top of my head I would say that none of those devices have what any individual user will have on his or her device. If I completely wiped my iPP and installed nothing and set up no accounts, it’s possible mine would exhibit no issues. When I see the redrawing of icons and folders I get the impression that iOS 26 just taxes the device’s system while causing no real functional problems for me. With nothing personal on an iPad, and only native apps, the system is probably not very taxed. Just a thought.
These devices you tested in the store had 26.0.2? The released version is 26.0.1
If iOS 26.0.2 hasn't been released yet, are you sure it was that version and not 26.0.1?
