I don't know how many cycles you have or anything, but I entered the iOS 26 beta cycle in beta 1 with 295 cycles and 92% health and I currently have 90% health with 336 cycles. I have to say that this drop is normal for my device and that it has been like this throughout its life since I started using it in April of last year. I don't care if I'm in stable or beta, my health usually drops by 1% every 30 or 40 cycles more or less, although there are times when it drops by 2% in a week and then doesn't drop for two months, just the algorithm haha
Looking at my battery, I have to question whether it will last 1000 cycles with 80% or more health as indicated by Apple
This beta also doesn't seem to interpret mobile connection bands correctly. In my town, there's 4G on two bands: Band 3 at 20 MHz and Band 20 at 10 MHz. My carrier also uses both to offer 5G NSA. The thing is, when I use the code to see which band the phone is connected to, it shows me that it's on Band 3 with a 100 MHz bandwidth, which is impossible. Band 20 says there's 50 MHz. If I leave it for a while, it updates and displays the data correctly, but I still find this behavior curious.
Im on 18.5. Would it be hard to revert if I dont like it on my iPad? I know I have to keep a 18.5 backup.
iPad Air 13‘ 2025 and Apple Pencil Pro on the way to me 🤣🙈
maybe I should have installed the beta instead of spending over 1000 bucks🤣🤣🤣
Still nice because now I can draw and paint finally on an iPad instead of my 15 PM 🤣

I didn't think it was ready. Pretty darn close, but not ready.
Yeah most likely - still July next Monday/Tuesday
Anyone else notice in the App Store that apps disappear from the update page while they are updating? As soon as you tap "Update" or "Update all," the app disappears until the update is fully installed. Then it magically pops up on the "Updated Recently" list.
The apps in the process of updating appear at the bottom of the list. I'm assuming that it is a bug.
Thanks. I think I experienced this last night while charging my iPhone 16 Pro Max on a Nomad Stand One Max (which I believe uses a MagSafe 2 charging puck). When I placed my phone on the stand (with about 40% battery remaining), it took at least 5 seconds for it to begin charging. Once it got to 82%, I noticed that it stopped charging and the back of the phone was very warm. I didn't notice any disconnect/reconnect cycles -- it seems like the phone just stopped charging completely. Maybe if I left it on the stand longer it would have tried to restart the charging cycle.
I then took my phone off the stand and waited a couple of minutes for it to cool down. But when I put it back on the stand, nothing happened -- it simply refused to start charging again. I tried a couple of times with no luck. The only way to get it to start charging again was to unplug the stand from the wall, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. Once I did that, it charged from 82% all the way up to 100%.
I didn't have any issues with this Nomad charging stand while running iOS 18, so I have to imagine this is somehow related to an iOS 26 bug.
Battery life on the 16 Plus is back to normal, at least much better than beta 3.
Possibly a bug: sometimes the last unknown caller entry may not be deleted the first time you delete it.

I just upgraded to iOS 26 Beta 4.
My display brightness was at ~75% despite being set to 100% and now it randomly switched back to full brightness. Never had any issue before. Auto brightness has been off for years. Not on Low Power mode, etc.
Is this is a known bug? Anyone else experience this?

Likely lowered peak brightness due to excess heat from installing the update. It should be done indexing and stable going forward.
