Still seeing some battery drain, but that could be due to indexing or something. Other than that, no issues.

The iOS26 app updates are starting to trickle through now . had a few app updates specifically mentioning iOS26 redesigns.

On the RC the last couple days. Not sure I feel about the UI, I have gone back and forth between having Increased Contrast enabled in accessibility....not sure which I prefer yet. Overall I like it though, especially some of the minor annoyances fixed in the CarPlay UI.

Lovely. I hope most the bugs have been ironed out in the beta's!

Yeah both my iPad Pro M2 and iPhone 14 Pro Max have finished downloading and are installing. My iPad mini A17 just finished downloading and is now preparing the update. Mac mini downloaded 1.80GB of 4.38GB of macOS Sequoia 15.7.

I was on the iOS RC but looks like this is a slightly incremented build. Now stuck at 4 hours remaining

I managed to get the Apple TV and iPhone updated but leaving it at that until tomorrow as I need to go to bed soon.
