iOS 26 Speculation Thread

[arovik]

It must be downloading the whole image, seems far too large for just a delta. Was like 14-something GB on 16 Pro Max

New beta cycles are always

 

[LutzRFrank]

and faster than usual, even macOS already out

 

[Spinarelo]

So the question for those of us with the Iphone 17 Wifi Issues... Does IOS 26.0.1 or 26.1 Beta have the fix first?

.1 usually includes everything in .01 so yes to both

 

[thatJohann]

hoping for fixes on the app redraw issues and widget flickers. fingers crossed.

 

[mattburley7]

No shot for iOS 26.0.1 today?

probably not.. tomorrow or later in the week maybe?

 

[dannyyankou]

The download paused because my phone thought I wasn’t connected to the internet. That was false. But it continued again.

Oh I just remembered, we’re waiting for digital passports. That might be in 26.1.

 

[thatJohann]

I'm going to first update on the 16 Plus I haven't traded in yet, gonna hold off on the 17 Pro and Air until we know how buggy this beta is.

Hopefully it comes this week with some needed fixes for new 17 owners.

Can’t be any buggier than 26.0! 🤣

Kidding…

I guess we’re taking the L…but why it feel like a W ⁉️🫦

 

[arovik]

Preparing...

 

[iLuddite]

Bruh my status bar keeps disappearing on the Software Update screen because of the lingering dark/light appearance bug (one can tell because back button is light)…really hope that’s fixed in .1 beta 1

Yes, but I want to be 100%, and not just ASSume. I don't want to upgrade to 26.1 beta, then have to downgrade to 26.0.1 to get the wifi fix. So if folks who have th iphone 17 wifi issue, can report back, it would be greatly appreciated.

26.0.1 could get fixes that aren’t in beta for a while since betas are branched.

 

[arovik]

this takes long to install...

Exactly...

 

[jha]

0.1 updates have dropped in the past same day as betas. We will see.

 

[kevman8396]

On 26.1 Beta 1, the Wifi toggle is now liquid glass.

Apple Intelligence says "downloading support" when iPhone and Siri is set to norwegian... seems promising

That’s great to hear! Can’t wait to try it out in danish!

 

[arovik]

Confirmed: Norwegian support has arrived

 

[muntundombe]

It’a heavy load!

Consensus seems to be the battery is worse in 26:

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-26-battery-life-thread.2458618/page-16

It is definitely better than earlier betas, though. Will probably get better as they release incremental updates. Hopefully we get something soon.

I’m glad it’s getting better for you. Keep in mind though that “consensus” in a thread within a niche fan forum doesn’t necessarily equate to what the vast majority of users experience. Especially when running betas leads to higher risks of carryover bugs and such…
