And with the changelog in Spanish, this will almost certainly be the final version.

I bet new Macs will be announced Monday when the final of 26.3 is released (or Tuesday if that's when it releases).

Still viable that the public build is newer and will include those if they do in fact come out.

It’s meant to be goalposts in American football, since it’s the Super Bowl this weekend and Apple Music sponsors the halftime show.

26.3 next week, 26.4 B1 the week after, that would match the midt February timeline for 26.4
Seems a little smoother than 26.2.1, I only update to RC I don’t ever do the beta’s even though this is technically one lol.

We don’t know yet. Could be the same as the final next week.
But most recently the final versions often have been newer builds.

There is no such plan as "mid-february". The rumors of a apple announcement for the new Siri says "second half of February" - Could be anywhere between feb 14 and feb 28...
I remembered the rumor wrong 😔 but 26.4 B1 next week with 26.3 will put it in the first half of February and even less likely with the second half rumor

I will be interested to see when beta 1 for 26.4 comes out. I have this feeling it won't be next week since Apple supposedly plans to show off what is coming in the second half of Feb. I also have a feeling this might be a good beta cycle to sit out the first 1 or 2 betas to let them get some kinks worked out since supposedly this will be a larger overhaul.
Historically for the last three years, the X.4 has been four betas and a RC (one case 2 RCs). So if that is the case again and they don't release until say Feb 16 week, we are looking at early to mid April for a public release.

93% on iOS 18 is a heck of a lot better than on iOS 26 though.
But, I will say so far so good with the 26.3 RC it has helped!

Thrilled to see this new Siri and if they are really able to implement this on-screen awareness with 26.4 or if this feature will be again delayed.
The truth is, they've probably been working on 26.4 for some time now, so it's possible they won't need much more than the traditional four betas. And if they maintain the same schedule of four betas and a Release Candidate, releasing it next week or the week after would allow them to meet a public release deadline for the week of late March/early April.
And if they need more betas, the sooner the first beta is released, the more feedback they'll get on potential bugs and the more time they'll have to fix them before the official release.
Report Reveals iOS 26.4 Beta Release Date
Apple is set to release the first beta version of iOS 26.4 later this month, providing the first real-world look at the Apple Intelligence features promised at WWDC 2024, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claims. Gurman revealed the timing in his "Power On" newsletter. Barring further delays, the first...
