*** The Official iOS and iPadOS 26 Thread ***

[Mobius 1]

Done mine. Even though I was on RC. All in all took about 20 minutes.

I'm on 900Mb and still showing 4 hours. It's entirely Apple's side.

That's me done, just waiting for macOS Sequoia 15.7 to finish.

I've got a gigabit fibre connection that probably helps.

So have I lol. It's Apple's side, but weird how some are flying through when others aren't.

I went airplane mode, then back on WiFi and it's now downloaded fully

Huh, that seems to have helped a lot! Down to 5 mins again now. Thanks!

FTTP here, been stuck on 3 hours for ages so 100% Apples issue

I was able to download it easy enough just now and it’s preparing the update here.

Not sure what to expect but hopefully it’s good! I don’t like change usually

All installed. The new keyboard looks a little odd.

macOS Sequoia 15.7 Installed now downloading macOS Tahoe 26…

Not a fan of the look of this, reminds me of MIUI on Android from about 10 years ago.

 

[Mesai]

Glass looks trash, at least on iOS, which is all I’ve updated so far. New camera icon looks like it’s from 20 years ago.

Hopefully it grows on me but I think it’s a step back in terms of presentation… Also transparency looks nice but rarely makes anything easier to use.

If someone said this was a 3rd party Android theme..I’d believe them.

 

[Philtor]

I think it looks ok. Nice change and will get better over time. Running like a bat out of hell on my 13 Mini here!

Don’t like the clock icon but that’s about it. Can live with that

 

[andy_mk3]

Phone is finally done, first impressions look good to me.

 

[OverDrive]

Smooth update on my 15 Pro Max.

 

[nlel1975]

All four devices done for me, took an hour and forty minutes...

 

[iMacMart]

Holly update Batman, keyboard, search, it’s all changed!

Was there a newer release then?

On my ipad it says I’m up to date, then below it says also available ios26 which I installed last week.

Seems like it. When I went to update it had the oblong button at the bottom of the update screen advertising iOS 26. Weird.

Dont phone and iPad, at a glance, not sure what all the fuss about liquid glass is about, none of the icon are transparent. I guess they rolled it back so much it is just the rounded square it sits on that is transparent?

Waiting for Mac mini and MBA.

edit - MBA is done in less than 30mins, yet Mac mini is not even 50% downloaded....strange.
