I pulled the trigger. CarPlay works great on our 2020 Rouge. New interface and widgets are nice.
I have the 16 PM and thankfully I’m not one of them haha
I updated my 16 Pro from 18.6.1 yesterday and I can’t believe how much faster it feels and how fluid the whole software is across the board.
Only issue I’ve noticed is that there are some random minor visual flickers here and there.
I’m not spotting any major problems with this new beta, but the iPhone tends to get a bit hot during the first few charges after the update. I’m guessing that’s just the indexing process kicking in. It’s a common occurrence with every update and usually lasts for a day or two.
I don't mind it... I find both Beta 6 and 7 similar and responsive. Obviously, there's still some lag, and I'm studying it in my spare time. The thing I can't fix is the giant buttons for blind people when the alarm goes off. Also, with iOS 18, when you looked at your iPhone, the alarm volume would go down. I think it's going to be like that, unfortunately.
pretty sure my MacBook Pro M4 max installed macOS 26 beta 7 last night and failed to boot this morning. Had to go into macOS recovery mode and believe it may have rolled back.
eh, whoops, wrong forum, can't delete....

Those giant alarm buttons and that oversized + menu in Messages are hideous. Hopefully they downsize both at some point before release.
if you rub it that long, everything will get hot
The new Alarm and Timer buttons are a shock the first time you see them.
I don't mind the size, but I wish they'd highlight the "off" and "stop" buttons rather than the "snooze" and "repeat" ones.
Go into settings > Face ID and Passcode > Attention Aware Features if you want that changed.
Although all third party browsers are fine, no stutter at all. So webkit itself is fine. Also Safari on iPadOS 26 betas has been perfctly fine too.
Seems like there were 4 widgets in the stack and I chose to have the weather show when I swipe into it. I'll dig deeper next time I'm in the car.
Evidently the number of columns is limited by the size of the the screen and Nissan's UI so we just get the 5 widgets at a time.
Over 24 hours on public beta 4 with my 16 Pro.
A much better experience than I was expecting! Battery drain has settled down today and it’s very close to 18.6.1, still early days.
Performance, speed & smoothness have really surprised me. Superb!
Love the new design & customisation and the Liquid Glass visual effects are stunning.
Predictive text is also an improvement over iOS 18.

Hello all in a dilemma,
from what I can see online and on the forums here iOS 26 is now pretty much in it’s final stage and stable enough for daily use .
However my problem is that if I update my iPhone 16 pro max I won’t be able to go back as don’t have a computer to use for that .
So what I am wondering is it worth updating now or wait till after public release? My fear is also the liquid glass look and I am not sure 100 percent yet if I like it all as there are some bits that look better in my opinion.
Any advice be appreciated
thanks

This is the first beta I’ve jumped on (DB7) and I was pretty hesitant after reading the comments.
Just like most, I’m noticing small visual hiccups when swiping screens and in and out of apps.
Only been 12 hours, so still getting warm and battery drain is faster than 18.6.1. Other than that, pretty smooth.
As long as CarPlay works on this beta and the next, I’ll ride it out. Still have to test.

No computer or Apple Store near you?
If no, I would suggest to wait until official release, it’s always a possibility that the installation can fail and makes your iPhone useless…
I don’t have PC/Mac either, but I have two apple stores near to my home, so no problem.
But if you don’t have that near to your home/location, I would wait!
