iOS 26 Speculation Thread

[JCCL]

Now that’s something I wasn’t expecting. Downloading. Seems like both iOS and iPadOS got new builds, WatchOS and MacOS remained the same.

Man what a hoss of an update. >10 gigs on iPhone 17, >12 gigs on MacOS

So far so good, local capture still disappears when going to settings > general but I don’t use it.

Not showing an update on WatchOS so guess it’s the same build

Yes, Watch is same build as RC.

But this release today changed anything. Even the Friday now became a legit possibility for new major updates. Crazy.
OTA update from RC2 is shown with 11 Gb but jumped more or less instantly to „preparing“ update on my phone. Pretty sure the download was much smaller than 11 Gb.

Exactly the same experience for me.

Mine on iPhone 13 Pro Max was 332 MB.

Haha. Was fully in the zone today with listening to music (Nas & DJ Premier Album). Never expected this final release today. But never say never… as we saw.

What ever they fixed/changed with RC2 and the new build night have pushed there plans a couple of days, and if Christmas wasn't coming up public release night have been on monday but they probably need next week to get 26.3 out before they are out of office.

I would have never put money on a Fri release, glad it’s out though.
