Its something I hate in terms of technology. Everyone wants the latest and greatest. One update comes in and then the countdown is on for the next update. It seems like something can't be enjoyed anymore because there is always the chase for the next thing.

It's interesting how updates on different platforms creates anticipation, but I guess it depends on the manufacturer and how they have created the "feeling" wanting the next thing.
One part of me think its great, I use this myself to get people that have low or little understanding about IT-security (and generally also claim that "they don't care") to update their phones. Kids love new emojis and if updates has 5 new ones it will make them update and they get IT-security patches and bug-fixes at the same time.

But if you compare it to Android or Windows its very little anticipation in between the bigger feature releases as they generally only fixes bugs and IT-security issues.
I do appreciate that Apple has stepped up and release more fixes, but I hope they are moving towards a bit more MS focus with lets say half year feature releases and stick to bug/it-security patches in between those.

Do you have files indexing in 26.6 RC?

If it's supposed to show any notification like on iOS 27 then I personally haven't seen a single one on any 26.6 beta I have used.
But allegedly it's indexing in preparation for iOS 27 so maybe it's just doing it in the background, without notifying users.

With whatever changes & fixes Apple made to iOS 26.6. Slower drain while in active use. It’s not night and day difference, but noticeable & welcome nonetheless.

iOS 26.6 will probably be released on Monday or Tuesday so can’t wait to download it on my 17 Pro Max and get those battery 🔋 benefits, but battery life on my 17pm has already been good.

Heard iOS 27 Beta has been great with the iPhone Air surprised you didn't download that version.

Definitely better in many ways over 26.5.2! Not just battery life. We may or may not get a new build for the public release.

It looks like it's the same build as iOS 26.6 RC 23G71

I've been using it for a week now and after using the previous iOS 26.5 and iOS 26.6 betas I can say that the overheating is somehow solved for my iPhone 16 Pro, and the battery life seems decent, I've been able to get 2,5h to 4h+ SOT with 50% battery depending on usage.

Network seems fine with no connectivity problems, wired carplay has almost no disconnects, and I see no stutter or hiccups or bad RAM management, or at least not as obvious as in previous iOS versions.

I believe this is a solid update and I can say finally this update is similar to iOS 18.6 in terms of stability for now. Battery was a little better on that version but lets wait for all the app updates.

Leave it to Apple to finally fix OS 26 in the 11th hour.

OS 26.6 is [what I assume] the last update for OS 26/Tahoe. Apple is now full focused on OS 27 and beyond.

It's prob the case, but they generally keep up to speed patching the old OS for a few months in when the new (27) is released. Support is prob dropped when the 27.2 release is out.
Since all phones that can run 26 can be be updated to 27 i'd say we won't se any updates at all for iOS 26 when we're past iOS 27.2
