As Beta 3 is out now I think RC next week and we are about 2 weeks away from public release.

I would usually say only if the public beta is released on the same day as the dev beta. Since this heuristic won’t apply this time around (given the dev beta is already being released late in the day so the same day release is impossible) it is a coin toss whether you are right or not.
 
Interesting that it's a D build. Not that we can't jump to RC next week, but I wouldn't say that jump is done deal.
 
Downloading beta 3

I installed beta 3 and there are 0 changes. The bugs I reported in 26.2 are still there. I expected that after almost two weeks they would have fixed at least some of them, but no. At least for now, there are no updates released by Apple, but I think this also happened in beta 2.

I’m starting to think we could be seeing 26.4 beta tomorrow. Or Wednesday.

26.4 beta 1 is rumored to be released in the second half of February:

Also think so. And I am not even sure if we already see the new Siri/Gemini with 26.4 B1 already or in later betas.

But that is all the very near future. Time to relax, we will see it soon enough. So some time to take a deep breath before you can start to complain about the new Siri. ;-)

Yeah, I’m thinking it may go as follows:

- 26.3 RC Beta next week (February 2-6)
- 26.3 Public release (February 9-13)
- 26.4 Developer Beta 1 (February 16-20)

That seems to match the reports of the new Siri landing mid February. 👍🏻

Based on the fact that the public beta came a day later than the dev one this week, I fear we are getting another beta next week and (if dev and public are on the same day) RC the week after.

For the last several years, this pattern has not been broken with .X updates and the only reason I am not more certain about this round is that the dev beta was released later in the day than usual (due to 26.2.1), so it might be an anomaly. No beta last week also matches us still being on a 2 week beta schedule, making a RC next week even more unlikely. I do hope I am wrong though.

I would agree. Seems that Apple just stopped signing the recently released updates for older phones (pre-iOS 26), and I find it hard to believe they'd release a 'point.point' update if they're planning to release iOS 26.3 next week. I'd assume that 26.3 would be released maybe Feb 9

They would be releasing 26.3 in two weeks if my thinking is right. The RC Beta would be next week, not public release. 👍🏻
