iOS 26 Speculation Thread

[Artemiz]

Yeah excited for the release! Sadly, I’ll have to install it later today, as I’m going to be busy when it drops. But I’m going to be even more interested in seeing what comes with the first beta of 26.2! 👍🏻

New bugs.

Just out of curiosity, has there been a public release but a different build that the RC? I guess this would save releasing an RC 2. Or am I talking complete and utter bog-snorkling bollocks?

Yes, this happened nearly every single time for the iOS 18 updates. It even happened with 26.0.

True. Also curious to see if there are any noticeable additions/changes in 26.2.

 

[Domadia_Jasmine]

Yeah 30 minutes from now or 90 minutes?

Anyone know if the expectation is that 26.2 goes public before christmas? I don't want to jump on any potential 26.2 beta train to be left stranded over the christmas period waiting ages for an update

It can really go either way. Sometimes, Apple releases something before Christmas. Other times, they wait until after the new year.

 

[MrRom92]

Maybe they will release 26.0.2

The .2 (and a couple .3) updates have been released before Christmas since iOS 13.

13.3, 14.3, 15.2, 16.2, 17.2, 18.2 were all the second week in December.

Imagine waiting for 26.1 and here comes 26.0.2

Maybe they will release 26.0.2

The chance of this is close to 0.

This makes no sense at all.

And I kinda feel the opposite, that something is coming out today. 😉

I’m with you, I feel the official release is coming in a few minutes, with a build that is one 1 or 2 numbers higher.

I juste hope that the lock screen swipe works also for iPad OS . I have never taken a photo with my iPads and it has always bugged me.
