I hope it stays that way
maybe it’s a bug and will go back to the way before, let’s seeActually, this is incorrect, the shipping build will likely be compiled this week to be preinstalled on the new 17 models.
But as you say, a day one update is very likely.
still no new keyboard on third party apps
aside from the clock on the lock screen it looks pretty much the same
Opening and closing apps/windows/pop-ups/dialogue boxes is lightning fast.
It honestly feels like iOS 26.1
👍👍👍

two things that i noticed immediately:
new onboarding overview of ios 26
Animation speed specifically going to home screen looks like it’s 2x faster. Not sure if bug but it’s noticeable
update: performance is night and day. I am still getting frame rate drop during the new email animation

Obviously not, third-party apps have to be compiled with XCode 26 to get the new keyboard, and the app updates that add iOS 26 compatibility aren’t allowed to be submitted until after the RC is released.
What exactly is the new keyboard, from what I’ve used it feels the exact same just slightly different, still typing has lag on 16 pro max
In the first 10 minutes I’ve noticed,
The enter key on 12.9+ iPads is still wonky (Mainly on English UK and languages with a taller enter key).
Currency conversion crash in calculator is fixed.
The weird shadow on Games & iTunes Store are fixed
Still not select button on folders in Mail on the iPad (or any folder it’s hidden in the menu)
On iPhone when the tab bar shrinks it’s significantly smaller.
The smaller cut icon on the auto correct toolbar on iPad is still there.
And for some strange reason I had to re-enable ChatGPT but when you ask it says it’s not gpt 5.

Apps need to be updated to the new SDK of iOS 26.
it’s not possible to update apps to this SDK before the final release (or at least the RC) of iOS 26.
The glassier and rounded one is the iOS 26 system keyboard. The other one is what you’ll see on third party apps

They will implemented when release is official worldwide
Wow these animations are lightning fast haha. Hope it stays like that until the final release.
I know I'm one of the only ones who uses mail categories and grouped by sender, but it seems like they fixed the issue with Messages glitching out when you delete them. There was this issue where you would delete messages, and then messages below it would disappear randomly.
It's not in the release notes, but I haven't had the issue so far. And it was very easy to replicate before.

Wow I just installed it there’s a new animation in opening and closing apps it’s so fast
i haven’t noticed this in previous betas, but coming back to the Home Screen from the calendar app causes a quick visual glitch when having the widget on transparent mode.
