26.4.2 is out.
No clue why people insist on constantly declaring “nothing today” so quickly.

Wow... so 26.4.2 only for iPhone and iPad, correct?

I'm thinking May 4th. beta 4 on Monday.

If they release on May 4th, it should include Star Wars themed wallpapers and emoji.
Maybe under new leadership, they'll become fun again (so, maybe NEXT May) 😀

You never know. From the outside of these things, we all typically assume that when a successor has been announced for a high level position, that just means that the incoming leader is now shadowing the outgoing leader to learn the ropes... but continuity of operations can be so important that sometimes it instead means that the "practical" effective date of transition has already passed -- in that the incoming leader is actually making the decisions now with little more than informal advice from the outgoing leader -- even though the "official" effective date is still in the future. I have no idea if this is how Apple does things... but frankly, we'd likely never know, either way.
Or maybe they can be Apple again and make iOS a polished experience again, no reason my flagship phone is stuttering on the Home Screen or scrolling through apps.

I think tomorrow is the deadline to submit apps with the iOS 26 SDK? So we should be getting a bunch of app updates with the new keyboard, hopefully some developers embracing Liquid Glass.

I hope so. I'm tired of the keyboard inconsistency.
Sadly devs can still flag not to use Liquid Glass at least until Xcode 27, so we could still be dealing with apps not using the new app standards until next April.

Would the keyboard still be updated even if they don’t use Liquid Glass?
Not actually sure, Meta is limiting access to Liquid Glass on WhatsApp and if you don’t have it you get the old keyboard, but for them to be able to offer Liquid Glass at all they must be using the latest SDK, so I’m thinking the two may be linked.
Yes it would. So apps are gonna receive new keyboard layout but might stay with old iOS 18 menus.
