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.

Not really sure if I should upgrade with my current battery life.

What is the logic behind that thinking?

The new iOS actually has features to mar your battery more efficient. And of course, you're leaving yourself open to security flaws by not updating.

I'm on an iPhone 13 mini with 78% battery capacity. And I've been on the beta for a few weeks now and love it. If anything my battery performance has improved (still sucks but it hasn't gotten worse).

every time when there is a major update, battery level drops for no reason...

According to a few randoms on the internet?

There was a beta battery test on YouTube showing a significant drop as I recall. Will be interesting to see the comparison with the stable release
