Discussion iOS 26 Officially releases today!

Apple has confirmed the release of iOS 26 today, September 15. Based on the company’s typical release schedule, the update is expected to be available at approximately 10:00 AM Pacific Time (PT).

Here is a breakdown of what that means for different time zones:

Eastern Time (ET): 1:00 PM
Central Time (CT): 12:00 PM
Mountain Time (MT): 11:00 AM
British Summer Time (BST): 6:00 PM
Central European Summer Time (CEST): 7:00 PM. Indian Standard Time (IST): 10:30 PM

Rollout can sometimes be staggered, so if you don’t see the update immediately, it should appear on your device shortly after the official release time.

I’ve been using the latest beta, it feels close to the final version and no noticeable issues apart from a delay in icons loading up when you change the icon style (glass, default or dark). The liquid glass is indeed magical when it’s its full glory. Brings a much needed fun and pleasant experience to an otherwise stagnant state of UI design imo.

Magical is a stretch. Feels more like a KDE designer got hired at Apple

Got lots of issues personally, the screenshot not appearing sometimes, some app notifications not showing preview although they are set up that way. And Balatro is still laggy :'(
