iOS 26 Speculation Thread

[MrRom92]

Ummm, no. Apple is in no way directly affiliated with MacRumors. You post here for us to see. You file Feedback with Apple so Apple can see. Whether they reply to you or not. I’m very well familiar with the whole “message in a bottle” thing. Not going to stop me from reporting issues.

I post just to complain, if anyone of importance sees it is icing on the cake

In all seriousness though i do think it is good to report issues within the community so they can be reproduced and corroborated. 2 solid bug reports are better than one iffy one

What’s with all this Tuesday talk? Betas have been releasing on Mondays for ages and if public really is scheduled for Wednesday they will want to give it at least a full day to make sure they aren’t bricking devices.

Last two b4's have been on a Tuesday.

Let’s see what will be left of Liquid Glass in Beta 4… if anything!

Or will they ramp it up a little? Calling it liquid glass and the new deluge of users installing the public beta seeing almost no 'liquid' might seem a bit off — unless they call it frosted glass!

Thinking the same, hope to see more liquid glass with db4

80-90min left and we will see if db4 is getting pushed out today

Beta 4's release this week should be very interesting.

If no b4 in 1 hour I would feel a bit sad. Let's hope.

 

[rgarita]

Would be indeed sad, but I think as we are two weeks in with db3, db4 is around the corner

Another possibility could be updated b3 for pb1 today.

2 weeks old beta? I doubt it

If beta 4 releases today we'd still have perfect alignment with the 18.0 beta cycle:

Tim will push the button on around 15 minutes 🥰

The reasoning for beta 4 this week is that post beta 4, every beta following is scheduled for 1-week apart. iOS 18 had 9 betas.

if beta 4 drops this week, then the conclusion of OS 26 beta period will be the week of August 25-29. This is accurate due to the fact that iPhones are already in the process of being ready by end of august and softwares are being flashed.

if Apple releases updated beta 3 this week w/PB 1, OS 26 will conclude Sept 1-5, which is pushing the wire.

No, as always +15 min - so 30min from now

 

[Stiille]

One more possibility I think could be db4 today and pb1 tomorrow but pb1 using db3 - but still think this is a very low chance to get this result, we will see

Hoping for the absolute best today

[greg624]

Here it comes!!! Get ready!

 

[Donga120]

Not today then it's 18.6 RC

 

[Stiille]

10-15min and we will see
and stop crying that it isn’t there already, dev beta always release 10-15min later

 

[iSuzan]

BTW... 18.6 Beta 4 was released...
