I wouldn't be surprised if Apple released a hypothetical iOS 26.0.2 the week of October 13th, but surely until the release of iOS 26.1, which will probably happen the last week of October or the first week of November, I don't think we'll see any releases on the stable branch.
Got a tip for us?

Let's see if Apple brings back Liquid Glass in the second beta, or a later beta of iOS 26.1, because I see the changes in this aspect of Beta 1 as a step backwards.
Lol there is literally no change for Liquid Glass in 26.1 😅
There are some icons in the photos app that are a bit more frosted that also could be a bug because it seems to differ between different iPhone models.
Some want to be the first to say “it’s out!”
Some want to be the first to say “see you tomorrow/next week”
It’ll drop today.
It's worth noting that while most iOS xx.1 beta 1 builds in recent years were updated after a week, 18.1b1 was out for two weeks before the beta 2 drop. (In fact, most of the iOS 18.x beta 1 builds were on a 1.5-2 week cycle — the exception being 18.3b1, which was out for 3 weeks and a day before 18.3b2.)
That said, it's certainly possible that Apple is trolling us, and 26.1b2 will drop 30 seconds after I post this.

However public beta 1 dropped last week so we are on a weekly beta.Yeah if not today or tomorrow, we’re currently on a two week schedule at that point. That’s too badI’ll give it another hour
Maybe he switched from the large Starbucks latte to a large Dutch Bros -- bigger cup = more to finish before the release. 🤷
Keep in mind there were bugs that were reported after 26.1 b1 was released, and they were fixed in 26.0.1. It would make sense if Apple needs a little more time to add that to 26.1
Can they do that within the next 20 minutes, find out next time on this episode of speculation thread!
Yeah, public beta doesn’t mean weekly. It could still be a two week release
