iOS 26 Speculation Thread

[Ament]

Revised beta 4?

Yup - 23A5297m vs 23A5297i from from last Tuesday.

 

[LutzRFrank]

The build version change goes from 23A5297i to 23A5297m

you're finished already? 😂

5.07GB public beta on my 13 Mini.

Looks like it's OTA only. Nothing on the Dev Portal just yet.

Developer Portal still displays the "i" builds

I was the first done but I saw the build number on discord that’s how I got the notification lol

 

[LutzRFrank]

btw. Mac has the Public Beta in the list but no update on Dev yet, OK ... Mac is always last ...

 

[Clebus]

Public beta is 8.25gb and dev beta is 10.35gb on iPhone 16 pro.

Im unable to install it on Dev Beta 4......

20 Minutes left...jumped up to 2 hrs.. now back to 40 mins... oh well...

 

[LutzRFrank]

3.07 GB on the 12PM, 538MB on the 16PM, absolutely weird

EDIT: the 16' just made its final reboot before finish

I think only iOS is revised.

 

[LutzRFrank]

Done… now … digging what changed 🧐

 

[LutzRFrank]

Looking forward when the frontpage will reflect the new dev build 🤣

 

[Zocster]

i was also surprised to see there is an update. wonder what's changed.

 

[iSuzan]

Glassy glass is hopefully still here?

 

[huanbrother]

A ton of heat after update, attached a cooler to ease it up. Yes this is a “5297m” build up from the previous “5297i” build.

Not much, since it’s no new build (still 23A5297) and just a new compile (m instead of i). So no code changes, just 4 new complies of the current build

 

[LutzRFrank]

Seems nothing changed on the glassy-ness

 

[LutzRFrank]

Looking forward when the frontpage will reflect the new dev build 🤣

now the added a sentence:

"though there is a new fourth beta available for developers as well."

 

[Reeneman]

Holy moly

[LutzRFrank]

OK… first look is not so dramatically different to iOS 18 as I thought.
Now after installing my iPhone 16P is getting quite warm. Better let it alone for a while and figure things out…

 

[iSuzan]

What I notice (same as on my iPad DB4) that some icons are quite blurry looking. Like photos.

Welcome to the Club… they should move beta to the winter season, would be a perfect hand warmer …

But it’s already much better compared to the earlier ones (you could literally fry eggs on the back…)
