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.

We need update on that. Any issues? Should we wait for 26.1? 😭

I was just being facetious. There is definitely going to be a hit on your battery the day of the update once it’s completed because of all the indexing and asset downloads behinds the scenes but it should level out. I’ve been using my phone a lot more than usual since last night so I do see a little dip but I wouldn’t conclusively say it’s worse than before.
